"Did the other girl get kicked out?" Mom asked.
"No. Everyone who was there said it was only Violet's fault."
"And what'd they do… just cussed you out and left?"
"Basically. It was just her mom. The dad wasn't there. But, yes, she did a lot of cussing. I see where Violet gets it."
"I hate that you had to do that. I wish Ms. Kathy would have stepped in, or that her husband would have been there, or her son."
"I know, but that lady surprised us. I had called her earlier that morning to try to schedule something, and she just dropped in. I'm lucky Ms. Kathy happened to be there."
"How's it going with Eddie?" Mom asked.
"It's good. We're taking it slow because we don't know how Kathy would feel if he asked me out."
"Isn't that offensive?" Mom asked, taking up for me.
"No. She loves me and wouldn't want something with me and Eddie to make her lose me at the studio. She would have mixed emotions about me dating Eddie. We're not even officially dating, as far as she's concerned."
"Are you officially dating as far as you're concerned?"
"I don't know. I think maybe so. I like getting to know him."
"When did he move back?"
"In August."
"And you just started talking?"
"It's been a few weeks, but we're going really slow with Ms. Kathy and stuff. Why so many questions about Eddie?"
"Because I was wondering about Thanksgiving. Do you think he'll be coming down here with you?"
"Oh, Mom, no. We're not there yet."
"The other night you were all excited about going out with him."
"I was, and we had fun, but that doesn't mean he's coming to Savannah with me for Thanksgiving. Ms. Kathy would definitely know."
"I still don't get it why you don't just tell her. You love her. You love the studio. I think she'd be happy for you to date her son."
"She does love me, and that's the point. Several times, I've heard her notice when girls check out Eddie. She sounds so disapproving when they do it. I know she doesn't want him dating her employees."
"Well, I hate to break it to her, but if he's right for you, it doesn't matter."
"I know. I'll figure it out, Mom."
"I just don't want you getting hurt. I don't want him to take advantage of you and then say he can't make it official because of his mom."
"It's not like that. If anything, Eddie wants to tell her and I'm being cautious."
"I don't want you to get hurt."
"I'm not, I promise. I was just calling to check in. I'm pulling up at the studio, so I'm going to let you go."
"Okay, love you, I'll talk to you soon."
I told my mom goodbye and hung up the phone as I pulled into a parking spot at the studio.
