"Oh? Who are you dating then?" Her mother finally stopped. She waited... even her breathing was quieter.
"Cage Cavanaugh."
Howls of laughter. Katherine wanted to slap her forehead. "Oh, that was so funny," her mother said in between rounds of laughter. "No, tell me the truth. Who is it?"
Katherine made a face. Yeah, it was hard to believe that she was dating Cage Cavanaugh. "I really am dating Cage Cavanaugh."
Silence.
Clearing of the throat.
"I'll humor you for a minute. How did you meet Cage Cavanaugh? Have you been camping outside shooting sites and waiting for him to come out because you have a lot of work apart from fangirling." Well, at least her mother admitted that fangirling was a side hustle for her. What else could a fan ask for from their parents?
She wasn't going to believe Katherine. At least she wasn't going to get yelled at like her dad would if he found out.
