285: NEED A HAND

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.

“The thing here is that…

“Don’t tell me that. Just please give me an answer. A yes or a no.”

She glanced at me at that moment. “You don’t have to be so rude to me.”

“Well, yes. I’m still on the drug stuff.”

I sighed, driving my hand through my hair. “I knew it.”

“Then why did you ask me?”

“I just wanted to hear what you have to say.”

“And you did.”

“Yeah, I did,” I whispered.

“Are you going to help me?”

“Help you with what?”

“Two things. My relationship with Catherine and the whole drug shit.”

I chuckled. “Okay, let’s not get things wrong around here. I might help you with the drug. problem and all that. But with Catherine, you’ll

have to do that on your own.” I rose from the

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.”
