"Hello, grams, it's me!" I chuckle, my eyes tearing up as I wipe down my mouth, before running my fingers through my hair. "How have you been, Grams? It's been a while since I heard your beautiful voice."
"Oh my baby, oh how I have missed you. Why are you phoning me? Are you not busy with work right now? Are you allowed to call me?"
"Grams, what are you saying?" I let out a dry chuckle before closing my eyes as I listened to her on the other end. "Of course, I am allowed to talk to you. How else will I hear how my favourite girl in the world is doing?"
"I am so happy to hear your voice, my little grandson. Are you faring well?" she asks, and I hear something whirring in the background. Grams is still not answering the important question, something I know she does when she doesn't want to lie.
"Grams?"
