Loveless
“Honestly. I want grandchildren one day.”
Shit. Here we go again. Maybe if I ignore my mother long enough, she’ll move on and leave the subject alone.
It hasn’t worked the other times I tried it, but hey, maybe the millionth time will be the charm.
“How dare you mess with Samantha’s dreams like this, Eli?” Sophie cuts into her omelet, tiny shit-eating grin aimed right at me. “Don’t you care about her feelings?”
Thankfully, my mother’s busy cutting into her own omelet, so she does...n’t see me giving Sophie the finger.
“See?” My mother raises her orange juice to her lips, her movements as delicate and graceful as always. “Sophia understands. What is the problem? It’s about time you settled down and started a family.”
