I looked at her, surprised. “Really?” I asked.
I thought about what she said, and I realized that she was right. Maybe I was making a big deal out of nothing. Maybe it was just a minor incident that would be forgotten in a few days. My mother suddenly came into the bath and I pan...
I looked at her, still feeling a bit embarrassed, but also feeling a bit more calm. “It’s okay, Mom,” I said. “Accidents happen. Just next time, knock on the door, okay?” I looked at her, surprised
I felt my face flush with embarrassment as I stuttered out an apology. “Mom, what are you doing here? I thought I locked the door!” I tried to play it cool, but I could feel my heart racing and my hands shaking. Maybe I was making a big deal out of nothing
My mother smiled and nodded. “I will, I promise. And again, I’m really sorry.”
My mother, sensing my discomfort, quickly apologized again and turned around to leave. “I’m so sorry, kiddo. I’ll just go look for my phone somewhere else.”
