Chapter 6 - JASON’S PARENTS FOUND OUT THE TRUTH

Jason’s mother called me unexpectedly.

Her name was Susan.

I nearly declined.

Then answered.

“Caleb?”

“Yes.”

“I owe you an apology.”

I waited.

“We believed you had offered the apartment.”

“I know.”

“We also believed your parents owned it.”

“Also know.”

She sounded humiliated.

“Megan gave us a very detailed story.”

“I’m learning.”

Susan paused.

“Jason told us about the debt.”

“That’s between them.”

“I agree.”

Good.

Then:

“I said some rude things in the hallway.”

I remembered.

Is this the hospitality your brother offers?

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Thank you.”

No excuses.

Nice.

Then she surprised me.

“We’re paying for our own hotel next time.”

I laughed.

“Excellent policy.”

That should have been normal.

Still, progress.
