UNKNOWN NUMBER; QUINN HUGHES

FIFTEEN

Was he in love?

Quinn knew Jack's words were meant to tease him, but now he was questioning things. He knew he liked Peyton, that much was clear. But did he love her? Truth be told, he didn't know what being in love felt like.

Sure, he had girlfriends in the past and he knew he liked them, but was he ever in love with them? What did it even feel like to be in love with someone? How would he know?

With all these questions buzzing through him, Quinn called the one person he knew he could talk about anything to.

He called his mom.

It took a few rings for her to answer, probably because it was early in the morning for them.

"Hi, Quinn, how are you?" Ellen spoke into the phone.

"Hi, Mom, I'm good," Quinn said. "Um, I have a question."

"What is it, honey?"

Quinn took a deep breath. "How did you know you were in love with Dad?"

"I felt safe and free, like I could be myself without being judged, but it's different for everyone," Ellen told him, then frowned her brows. "Why?" She asked. "Is there a girl?" Quinn stayed silent. "Quinn?"

"Her name is Peyton," Quinn said.

Ellen smiled. "What's she like?"

"Amazing," Quinn told his mother. "She's funny, kind, smart, caring, and beautiful. Really beautiful."

Ellen's smile grew. "You really like her, don't you?"

"Yeah, I think I do,"

"That's good," Ellen said. "I'm happy for you."

"Thanks, Mom," Quinn looked at the time. "I gotta get ready for an early morning practice, I love you."

"I love you, too,"
