(TALON'S POV)
"What do you mean?" Mum screamed so hard that I had to hold the phone some distance from my ear.
I glanced around to be sure that no one was near. The pavilion was quiet and empty. The perfect spot I chose to give my mother feedback.
"I'm serious, Mum. She didn't know anything about it." I said and because I knew what she was going to ask next, I added. "And it was confirmed, in front of everyone. It's a real bond."
"Fucking hell." Mum cursed under her breath.
I waited for her next line of insults, hurled at me of course, but it didn't come immediately. The silence was so loud that if I wasn't hearing Mum breathing on the other end, I would have thought she fainted or something.
But I knew she was seething. Boiling in rage and anger. This was her comeback plan and she felt so sure that it was going to work. Five years of planning.
"Damn it." She finally said with a sigh.
My heart squeezed. "I'm sorry, Mum."
