Waiting
They lingered for a while, catching up on their week while drinking coffee. Joe hoped that if everything went well, his fiancée would be able to meet his mother in December. He had just finished his last cup of coffee when he heard his phone ping. He immediately set his cup down and grabbed his phone, knowing that his mother had finally responded to his text. Aline saw him as he opened the message, which read, “How could you send me this?”

Was She Joking?
Joe initially thought his mum was joking. He stood there watching as three small dots appeared at the bottom of his screen. Another message was being typed by his mother. “That doesn’t look good,” Alina said, but he laughed. “Just wait for the next message, it’s not as bad as it seems, I’m sure,” he advised her. However, as the next message appeared, he coughed on those words.
