"Okay, I'll be home. Sorry about yesterday! I didn't intend to get home so late, but you remember my friend, Beth? She had a little family emergency, so I had to cover the first half of her shift. You were already sound asleep by the time I got home."

"No worries, Mom. I figured you probably got held up," he replied. To be truthful, that was entirely normal in her line of work. Mom was a nurse at a hospital about fifteen minutes away. She was always working long hours, or picking up extra shifts to make her paycheck go a little further.

By the way, that reminds me," she said, grabbing her shoes from the closest. "I talked with Grandma yesterday afternoon. She was so happy that you came out to see them. And the best part, Grandpa is already feeling better!"

Stephen perked up, "That's great to hear! Although, he was still in his usual joking mood, even when he was flat on his back on the ground," he chuckled.

"Well, you know your grandfather," Mom laughed, while putting on her shoes. "Okay, I'm off to work. I'll see you tonight?"

"Definitely. Have a good shift!"

"You too, sweetie. Hope your good day continues. I love you," she said, brightly, before dipping out the door.

Stephen casually snuck over to the kitchen window and watched as his mother got in the car, and backed out the driveway. As soon as saw that she had left, he grabbed an extra fork out of the drawer, and took the plate of food back to his room.@@
