High And Inside (2006)
““Let the machine get it,” Mom said. Too late, Matt had already picked up.
“Mattster.” The bubbly voice was unmistakably Jake. “What’s up?”
Matt explained that he was just about to eat dinner. “I’ll call you back, okay?” he said. He returned to the table a little happier than when he had picked up the phone. Since that weird night at Long Lake, he hadn’t felt quite as close to Jake. It was good to hear from him, whatever he wanted to talk about.
“It was just Jake,” Matt said. “I’ll call him back....”
It was just the two of them for dinner tonight. Mark had visited the previous weekend and he was coming home only once a month or so now. But that was all right with Matt. He enjoyed the occasional quiet dinner with his mom. The weeks were so hectic with school, sports and Mom’s job as a real estate agent that it was nice to be able to catch up.
Unlike some kids, Matt kind of enjoyed spending time with his mother. Sure, she could be pretty hokey at times, but they had plenty of laughs together and he always knew she wanted what was best for him.MoreLess
