LUKE’S POV

“So, you tell me, mother. Are you still on drugs?” I quizzed my mom, with the both of us still ensconcing ourselves on the edge of the bed. I think I knew the answer. But I just decided to throw the question at her, and now I was expecting a replication.

bed.

“Come on, I’ll need your help talking to her. I don’t think I can do this myself.”

“You are her mother. Of course, you can do this yourself.”
