April had used her mum's maiden name as she was sure Marie would make the connection. She was correct as she heard the voice turn warm.
"Jones? Little April, are you Katie's daughter?" Marie asked. She was surprised and happy to hear from her old friend's daughter.
"Katie? Do you mean Kathleen?" April enquired, she wasn't sure of her mother's nicknames.
"Yes, sorry I used to call her Katie for short. We were very good friends. Are you okay?" Marie asked, she didn't want to presume why April was ringing her.
April giggled, "Yes I am okay, I just wanted to talk to you about my mum."
"Of course. You must be doing well if you found your mothers letter and rang me, you are just as smart as she was." Marie said.
April smiled hearing that she was like her mother, she was never told that before. "Thanks. I found my mothers two letters and she left your contact details on one of them. I also moved into her condo."
