Hopeless
Joe hadn’t heard from his mother by Sunday. He texted her again, but she read it without answering. He was completely depressed. He could tell Alina wasn’t having a good time. She had been sitting calmly, staring into space. He eventually decided enough was enough. It wasn’t right for his mother to simply ignore him. He made the decision to call her.

Calling Her
Her phone rang for a time, and she finally answered just as he was about to hang up. “Hello, Joseph,” Mari stated firmly. When his entire name was mentioned, he rolled his eyes. That was the first time he’d heard it since high school. “Hi Mom, I was hoping we could sort this out.” Is there an issue?” He didn’t waste any time getting to the point. He had always despised his mother’s passive-aggressiveness.
