''I'll get it.'' Mum says in finality and wipes her mouth with a napkin.
I wonder who it could be.
Mum walks to the door, my sister and I stretching our necks to see who it is. She uses the peephole, then opens the door.
''Hello, Mrs Jones,'' I hear a voice say and I almost choke on my rice.
What. The. Hell?!
Mum looks behind her and wags her finger, I stand up, still gobsmacked and make my way towards her. He sees me and I blink rapidly, I tend to to do that a lot when I'm shocked.
Minutes ago, he was at the dance.
''Melody,'' he says with a smile, a full blown one that shows his pearly whites.
''Jason,'' I answer cordially. Mum has still not let him in and she looks at him, her eyes full of questions.
''Jayden, right?'' she says. We both shake our heads. I literally corrected her a week ago.
