"Then, you can go wherever you have to and then come back here to sleep. Being on your own at home must be lonely…" she said, giving Mason the love she would give us… but premium version.
"I… I don't feel lonely, though…" Mason muttered, which almost made me laugh out loud, but seeing mom's pout, I had to intervene, "mom, his house is closer to whichever he's going than our house is, it won't be possible tonight but…" tapping on his shoulder I gestured him to follow my lead, "how about you stay here next weekend?"
"Next weekend?"
"Oh! That would be great! Would you like that Mason? I could call your parents for permission too!"
"Uh… I don't think it's necessary to call my parents Mrs… but I would like that, yeah. I haven't stayed here much since we don't need to study together anymore. I kinda miss it."
"Yeah, it would be nice… I can invite Sophie too, to honour the good ol' times."
"Sophie?" mom asked, a bit timid now, "t-the one that… calls you 'biatch'?"
