Crushed (Crystal Brook Billionaires)
““Hi, Mom. Thanks for picking me up.”
Despite the seat belt holding her in, she reached over and gave me a hug. “Of course, honey. How are you?”
“Good,” I quickly said, giving the safest answer.
A car honked from somewhere behind us.
Mom glanced in the rear view mirror. “All right, all right,” she muttered. “It’s Friday afternoon, for heaven’s sake. You’d think people wouldn’t be in such a hurry.”
“Especially not at this airport,” I agreed.
She shot a sidelong glance at me and put her car into d...rive. “What does that mean?”
“Nothing. Just that RDU isn’t exactly hopping most of the time.”
She gave me a reprimanding look, but one that held a hint of a smile behind it. “You must be doing good if you’re making demeaning jokes.”
I guffawed. “God, Mom, I’m not that cruel, am I?”
“No,” she smiled. “That was a little jab of my own. How was your flight?”
“The flight was decent. Quick, at least.”
I settled back in the seat and watched the familiar tapestry slide by the window.MoreLess
