Strings of Fate

Chapter 182

182- Mothers and meltdowns

Megan does notice my suspicious glare at Darrien’s back. For a moment she’s confused and I can practically see her replaying the last several minutes in her head to see what bothered me. When she figures it out, she smiles at me.

“Did you know that Darrien is very close with his mother. They speak or the phone pretty much every night, even if it’s only for a few seconds. It’s very sweet.” She confides. Oooohhhhh he was talking to his mum. That makes so much sense. I didn’t really think that he would be seeing someone else, but maybe that he had some close female friends that he is kind to. Not that it would be a problem, as long as it was clear that’s all they are. Either way, it’s far better.

“He’s never mentioned his mother to me.” I admit. Megan shrugs.

“He usually waits until he is alone to talk to her. But I’ve seen him texting her sometimes.” She says with a small smile.

“Does she live around her?” I ask and Megan shakes her head.

“Nah, Darrien moved down here a few years ago, but she was already well settled in her community and didn’t want to leave her home.”

“Oh, then why did he leave?” I think out loud with my head tilted. Darrien descends the stairs in that moment and I blush realising I’ve been talking about him behind his back.

“That’s easy, I left because I needed a challenge. The town I grew up in is a tiny farm town. Not a lot of career opportunities outside of farming, and that never really appealed to me.” He answers me cheerfully, apparently unoffended by my nosiness.
