“Hello, Mother.”
“Yes, I know what time it is.”
“I’m sorry for waking you, but I have to ask you something.”
“It is important.”
“Were you and Dad married yet when I was conceived?”
“I don’t need a lecture, Mother, I just need you to answer the question.”
“I see. And, ah… are you sure he’s my father?”
“Mother, don’t hang up! This is important!”
“No, I haven’t been listening to rumors. Are there rumors about me?”
“If it’s such a silly idea, why won’t you just answer me?”
“Thank you. I’m sorry if I hurt you, I just… I had to ask.”
“Yes, I’ll wait until dawn next time, I promise.”
“I’ll let you go back to bed. I love you, Mother.”
