So you are graduating this week?” Esme asks.
“Yes.”
My cell phone starts to ring.
Rose, I bet.
“Excuse me.” It’s in the kitchen. I wander over and lean across the breakfast bar, not checking the number.You have just met your lover’s mother for the first time, and you have literally only spoken three words to her (the words being “Mrs.”, “Cullen”, and “yes”, for anyone who was curious).
If you’re trying to make a good first impression, this is not the right time to excuse yourself to take a phone call from one of your friends.
