The day at work had been long. By the time I got home, I was exhausted, but I still had things to do. I dropped my bag on the couch and let out a tired sigh. My feet ached, and my body wanted rest, but my mind was restless. I had been overthinking all day. Work had been hectic, and on top of that, Nick had been on my mind more than I wanted him to be. It was frustrating.
I rubbed my temples, trying to shake off the thoughts. Instead of sitting down, I reached for my phone. I needed something to distract me, and calling my mom always helped.
I tapped her contact and waited as the phone rang. It took a few seconds before she answered.
“Tracy, sweetheart! Finally, you remember your mother exists! I was beginning to think you had a new family over there.”
I chuckled, already feeling better
