“Really?” Yulia sensed that her daughter was not being truthful.

Natalie lowered her head and tried to steer the topic, “Yep. Mom, when are you coming back? Let me know the date and time so that I can go pick you up at the airport.”

Natalie patted herself on the chest as her attempt to steer the topic was successful. “Sure thing. Remember to contact me then.”

That way, she could make some preparations so that her mother would not find out about her and Shane.

Natalie was hoping to only let the cat out of the bag after her mother had caught onto something. She’s going to be able to take it better then.
