FROM OUTSIDE, sounds of swaying branches bounced against the walls of our house, they prompted me to pull the windows lock and I did just to silence the night noises. On my table a phone, a gnomelike squash cake Mom baked, which I cut away a slice of it. But before I could drop a spoon of cake on my mouth, my phone beeped for countless times.

"Marceline, it's almost eight. Why are you still awake?" I clicked my phone off at the sudden appearance of Mom in my room. I had already spent a week or two of not holding my phone, and Mom was completely aware of it.
