"Why would Spence do such a thing as that? Isn't he aware of the struggles I've encountered with you lately over that boy?"
"Mum, that's not–"
"He is aware because I told him all about it. How can he pretend to be understanding in one minute only to turn to the other side in a flip of a coin, reminding you of your pain? Was he bribed? I need to call that lousy brother of mine. Now and fast."
"Mum!–"
"No, honey. You just wait while I go get my phone from my bedroom to dial him."
"That won't be necessary," Jake firmly told her.
"What won't be necessary?"
"There's just no point arguing with him alright? I already did that with him."
"You did?"
"Yeah, but Spence actually called to say that Kaiden called him yesterday. He said he revealed he'd been trying to reach me for some time now and also him as well and yada yada."
"Wow! Did Spence call you to say all that?"
