Is she trying to set her son up with me?
"Avery, did I scare you? If so, I won't push you. Take your time to think. If you want to spend some time mending things, then do that.

If Bernard found out about this, who knows what kind of strain it might cause between mother and son?
Why couldn't she restrain herself? Nancy Sallow thought with some annoyance.
"No, Auntie, I, I…" Avery didn't know how to express her feelings at that moment, "Currently, Bernard and I are just friends. I really haven't thought about changing our relationship right now. I'm sorry, Auntie."
