"I'm not going," I tell my mother right before they walk out the door.

She frowns at me. "Why not?"

"I'll go later," I say.

The frown doesn't disappear but she nods.

"I love you," she says quietly, giving me hug.

She looks at me meaningfully for a moment before Mari's father calls her name. She whirls around and follows him out the door.


I know what she meant when she looked at me. I know that she doesn't want me to do anything wrong- rash, as she'd say it.

I should care about her and Mari's father.

I don't.
