With his eyes glued to Kasie’s blushing face, Ivan asked calmly, “Mom, what’s going on?”
“You tell me. Ivan, you… you Love… men? How do you think that looks? Your dad and I are a laughingstock. And now you hook up with
Debbie’s best friend! What were you thinking? You need to cback home. Now!” Elsie was so pissed by what her son had done that she pretty much shouted at him over the phone.

Elsie asked further with the Line still on, “I never heard you mention him. You close to him?” She heard a beep, and the line went silent.
“Hey, Ivan… I’m not done.”
As Elsie tried to call again, Logan stopped her and said, “Look. He’s with his girlfriend. Don’t ruin the moment.”
