“We’re celebrating you moving into your new shop.”
I smiled despite myself.
“It’s really not that big of deal, Momma.”
“Of course, it’s a big deal. You’ve worked out of our living room for the last year, and now you’re going to have your own office. “
“Which I’ll be sharing with Titus,” I reminded her.
“What does that matter? You’re now a thriving business owner and you have your own office.”
“That I share.”
“Claude, take the muffin,” she said handing it to me. “And the coffee. I asked Marcus what type you like. He told me it’s your favorite.”
I smiled. “Thank you, Momma.”
“You’re welcome,” she said with a smile. “I have a few minutes before we have to leave, why don’t we sit down and enjoy a coffee together.”
“Uh oh,” I said taking a seat.

She gave me a side eye that asked who I thought I was fooling.
“No Momma, there are no girls or guys in my life right now.”
“And why not?” She said leaning forward.
“I can feel a lecture coming on.”
“There’s no lecture. I’m just gonna say…”
I groaned.
“I’m just gonna say that you’re smart, and kind, and now you’re a business owner.”
“Here we go.”
“There’s no reason you shouldn’t have people beating down your door.”
“Maybe I don’t want people beating down my door.”
“Your momma had boys beating down her door,” she said proudly.
“And on the topic of things I didn’t need to know…”
