‘ Can I assume that you're back from work, ’ I ask her.

She casts her gaze up the stair.

‘ Yes, just finished the day's work. ’

And asks me a counter question:

‘ When did you get here? Why didn't you call? ’

‘ I arrived about fifteen minutes ago. I wanted to surprise you, ’ I say, wearing a little smile.

Mom is the person who really knows what I want. She is the calmest and most caring person in our family. But her concern for my education makes her go against me going to auditions.

‘ Yes, they are sitting in their rooms, ’ I say.

Then I turn my head and see the babysitter getting ready to go home. She walked up to my mom and said she was all done. She picked up her purse from the coat rack and walked out.

‘ Susan is a good babysitter! ’ she says, looking at the door, which had closed seconds before her words.

In fact, if my mother had started her career as a writer, she wouldn't be against my going to auditions, but would support me in doing so; she would know that it was also a job, not just a dream.
