“No. It’s my mum calling for her Saturday gasbag.” I open up the messages to text her.
Me: Busy. Will call later.
“You can talk to her. I don’t mind.”
Mum: ur neva busy
I laugh as my thumbs tap, glad I invested in a privacy screen so Marcus can’t see what I’m about to type. “I do. I’m grateful to have an excuse.”
Me: do any of you know Marcus Bailey?
Mum: Dad or K mite. I don’t
Me: can u ask K?
Her: Will ask when he wakes up.
Me: thx

Me: Work interviewed him and I’m worried he recognised me. But not sure.
Mum: u look 2 different now. I reckon its ur imagination.
Me: probably. Just check.
Mum: He’s hot.
Me: I’m not interested.
Mum: we could arrange it. I hear he likes the ladies…
Me: I will block you. I swear.
Mum: ur no fun
