She’s dying

Good. So, what else is new?

No, she really is dying. I think I should go to her

Again? I thought we’d been over that

Yeah. But you don’t understand. I feel like I should at least see her. She’s the only family I have

Her reply wasn’t instant. I stared at the phone, waiting, watching. I reread what I’d written, worried that I’d offended her. I readied to write an apology when my phone buzzed.

Sorry. Mom tipped her spag bol onto her lap. She’s playing with it now

Oh no. Sorry, Zali

Nah, she’s having fun. Nothing that a wet sponge won’t fix

Zali had amazing patience. I wasn’t sure I could cope with what she was going through.

Daisy, your mother may be the only BLOOD relative you have, but she’s not family. True family cares for each other. Does anything for each other. Love each other. Your mother stopped being your family years ago. Maybe even when you were a little kid

I started nodding as I was reading. She was right.

I know. But it’s still weird knowing I’m about to lose my only last living relative

That you know of

Her reply was swift.

That was also true.

You probs have 20 stepbrothers or sisters you don’t even know of yet

I huffed.

Maybe

Not just maybe, highly likely. So, forget about your mother. Besides, I’m all the family you need. And Roman. How is that sexy hunk?

I smiled as I pictured him and told her about our night together and the nightclub.

Wait. Stop! You never dance

I know, right? It was fun

A guy who can get you dancing must be pretty special

Roman was special.

He’s still hurting from what his ex did. I’ve tried to talk to him but he clams up. And I haven’t been able to hook him up with anyone yet

Sounds like it’s time for super Daisy

Super Daisy?

Yeah, you know, the one who gets the smoking-hot stable manager to cum all over her

EEEWWWWW
