Madness

MEGHAN TINSLEY

Flirting with him had given me a taste of my youth and it was fun but there was no point in dragging it on.

I moved away from him and made my way to the door. Aria was waiting for me. Knowing her, she was seconds away from calling the FBI to update my name on the missing person's list.

Aria, my daughter, is all grown up now. It didn't change anything because she would always be the sweet little girl I raised her to be but somewhere along the line our roles had changed.

The liquor in my system sharpened my wits. I found Caleb's car where I packed it and drove the short distance back to the cabin.

I planned on staying in town for a week and so far I had to say it's a pretty okay town. Aria could do better though.

"Mom!" Aria rushed out of her seat immediately I walked in.

I smiled. "Relax, honey. I just went to have a few drinks at the bar."

"I was close to freaking out an hour ago but Caleb reassured me you'd be fine."

I mouthed a "thank you" to Caleb. He was an okay guy
