Moving further away from the house. I pick up Carmella’s call while facing the entrance, just in case my mother shows up or something

“Babe.” I cautiously look around, the bodyguards in position standing at a certain distance away from me.

“Hey, babe!” Carmella says from the other end of the line and she sounds so enthusiastic that I rub my temples while shaking my head.
