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?”

Mom shook her head. “I guess it’s fine as long as he does what he needs to do.” She took a sip of her tea then said, “It was just a little bit of a surprise seeing him like that after dinner two weeks ago.”

I could understand that. “Mom… have you been keeping up with the news? Everyone’s calling me a trader.”

I laid back. “I’ll do that, but you’ll have to come with me when I take my first official big job.”

“I will but you need to join the coven first, I think it’ll really be good for you.” She insisted.
