I confirmed my inference when Mason stood up and ran to meet the girls and hugged them.
"Where did you go, mom?" Mason asked and took the paper bags his mother was carrying and then he turned to the other woman, which I think is his girlfriend.
"Girls night out, we go to the parlor, then we went to the casino, then we got a massage. I can't remember all the places anymore." Her mother laughed in response.
Mason approached his girlfriend and pressed a kiss to her lips.
"You must be Ashton? The one Mason's talking over the phone?" Mason's mom asked when our eyes met. I immediately stood up and approached the woman.
