Mom and I were on her bed in our pajamas drinking tea, “So is Lexus always high?” Mom asked. We were on the topic of relationships, so I guess that’s why she had to throw that question in.

I chuckled nervously. “Only a quarter of the time. More often now that we’re not in the castle anymore. Do you think that’s bad?”
