“Don’t change the subject. Did you just tell me you’re in love with someone? Who is this person?” I scrub my hands over my face again. “His name is Miles. He’s…new.” “Miles…I heard something about him from Marzia.” “Ah, God. Don’t get me started on that. Whatever she told you is patently false.” She puts her hands on her hips. “He treats you well?” “Mom, he walked into hell and dragged me back out.”
