I should have known something was fishy. If only I wasn't so carefree about details.
Mama was a disciplinarian and definitely wouldn't be so cool with it when we brought Mackenzie to her.
I mean, if she didn't recognize me, we would just be some strangers– some kids who were acting on their own. Mama would never condone or take us in as she did then.
She would have alerted the cops and sent Mackenzie back home instantly.
Also, on the day of the test in the mind maze team. She was extra sweet and even let me have a free cheesecake. She had that sad look in her when I wanted to leave— I saw it.
I only thought of it as a motherly intent that made her extra sensitive on that day.
Hell, there were way too many things that I was unaware of. Perhaps, I wouldn't be so lost if I had been paying attention to details.
"And A— Anas?" I managed to stammer out, breaking my vow of not speaking to Ajax until he was done.
