"The phone's ringing," Mia's voice chimed out informing an already late and hassled Layna.
"Really? I am sitting right next to it but didn't realize," Layna retorted, rolling her eyes as she picked up the phone.
"Hello," Layna spoke as she made a grab of the toast Emily offered.
A sweet voice sang from the other end," Hello, my god-daughter. "
"Aunt Mary," Layna discarded her toast,"Umm..hi."
She glanced around and found Mia and Emily's attention focused on her. She asked them to hijack the phone call but was met with indignant no's.
Dammit! Now she was going to get really late for college.
"You're such a naughty girl."
She blinked.
"Me?" Layna asked in an innocent voice.
Mary huffed," No use pretending otherwise with me. I know you and have loved you three like my own daughters."
Oh, that cunning woman. She was emotionally blackmailing her. Layna knew she would once again fall for it. Yes, her darling Aunt Mary was that good.
"Aunt Mary," Layna used her sweetest voice.
"No. You left without informing me. Do you even realize how worried I was?"
"I am sorry but I did receive a call from Alan, I asked him to convey to you I was fine and had reached home safely," Layna thought she would throttle Alan if she learned that he had not conveyed the same to his mother.
"I am aware of that. Who do you think made him place that call?" Aunt Mary's voice carried a smug tone.
