My ears started listening when I heard her speaking to her mum on the phone.
I couldn’t hear all the bits but certainly the laughter and vague words like “yes he went to bed without complaint” “I know he actually used the potty” My eyes closed wondering what torture I am in for tomorrow. See I have not introduced Emily’s mum at all so far. Her name is Jayne and she hates me from the beginning. But more about her later…
Buzz, buzz , buzz as the alarm was going off again and Emily was coming back into the bedroom from having a shower. “Jake” she said “time to get up” Just at that moment I saw Jayne walk into the bedroom- “don’t worry about him” she said “you need to get ready for work”
