~19-We’ll See~
I unlock the door to my apartment with a wide a*s grin because that’s what Jamie does to you-makes you smile so much your jaw hurts.
Just as I throw my bag down and my butt connects with the couch, an incoming video call from Beth pops up on the Mac Pro which I left powered on the table.
Quickly, I accept it, wishing this damn grin off my face as I sit on the floor right in front of the table.
“Hey, stranger” she beams
“Hello, beautiful stranger” I respond, grinning like a fool.
“Someone looks happy” she smiles
“I think I am” I reply, suddenly remembering to ask her “Beth, did you by any chance tell Brit what I like to have for dessert?”
“No” she squints her eyes “Why?”
“Nothing important” I shrug “I was just wondering”
“More than 10 years, Danny” she stares impassively at me and I frown in confusion before she continues “...and you still think I don’t know when you’re lying? Spit it out”
“What?” I go for nonchalance

He stopped crying a while ago, I think he feels better.Quickly, I grab my test off the table and sprint down the stairs.“Good Evening, mommy” I beam, my smile so wide that my jaw begins to hurt soon.Mommy just nods in acknowledgment as she starts taking off her shoes.“I got a high score on my Math test today” I inform, proudly holding up my B-minus“A B-minus?” She huffs in disbeliefMy smile wavers.

I say in a question-like way with a fake ass smile but she wouldn't just leave it like that
