We Lit The Fire And It's Burning Bright

Frank's POV

My mother neared the store, promptly parking outside. She pulled the key out, and motioned for me to come out.

In mere minutes, a ringing sound came from inside her bag. Pulling out her phone, she answered the call. "Hello? What? I'm with the best son in the world. R-really? On it."

"Mom?"

Nervously, she returned to the vehicle. "Frank, I really wish I had the time. At least today...but I don't. W-we'll get another day."

I sighed and kicked a pebble.

"Honey, my job's just complicated," she explained. "Are you okay, in the comic place?"

"I'm fine," I lied. "You go ahead."

She sent a kiss through the air. "Take care. I'll pick you up by dawn, okay?"

"Sounds like a plan," I smirked.

"Get me some Justice League, I'll read it to you sometime."
