Teaser Tuesday

Teaser time! In this one, Callie's having a conversation with Chase's mom, Linda, who doesn't like her because she inadvertently put her son in a wheelchair Plus, Linda knows Callie's aunt, Moira, and assumes that Callie as just as removed from reality as Moira is. Olivia and Lexi are Chase's sisters.

Again, it will take me awhile to read the teasers, but I definitely will.

Moira has a guy over.

He must’ve come last night, because I hear her say, “You didn’t have to get my breakfast,” on the other side of the wall. Then there’s some talk about how, yes, he did have to get her breakfast because she’s so amazing and beautiful and how she can’t possibly be forty (which is true because she’s forty-six.) Gag me.

But it’s kind of nice.

Moira says that he’s just the sweetest guy in the world and, “I can’t believe you walked in the snow for me.”

I get out off bed and run to the window so quickly that I nearly trip over my feet.

I see white.

I need to see Chase.

I run down the stairs to his apartment—in my infamous duck pajamas—and bounce as I wait for someone to answer the door since I’m now on a wow-there’s-white-crap-on-the-ground adrenaline rush.

Olivia, Lexi, or Chase could've answered the door, but of course Linda is the one who does. She says hi and how are you, I say I’m good and how are you and she says she’s fine.

Then, we stand there. I’m still bouncing a little. “I’m here to see Chase,” I say.

She nods which means nothing to me. “He’s asleep.”

“This is really important.”

She waits for an explanation, or for me to confess that I’m out to destroy her son’s life, I’m not really sure which. “It’s snowing,” is my explanation.

She waits some more.

What do I tell her? Chase and I need to dance in the snow because once we danced in the cold together and it made us both feel alive and he didn’t wear a shirt and you raised a really hot son, congratulations? “I need to see him,” is my makeshift answer. “Because this will make him happy. I promise.”

That does it. She tells me to come in and points me to Chase’s room.
