“What’s your plan for the evening?” Mom called from the kitchen as I lounged on the couch, flicking through my message thread with Nutty, Troy, and Ali. We all worked for the same tattoo shop in Belton.

“What’s your plan for the evening?” Mom called from the kitchen as I lounged on the couch, flicking through my message thread with Nutty, Troy, and Ali. We all worked for the same tattoo shop in Belton.
At the sound of dishes clinking together, I got from the couch, pushed my cell phone into my back pocket, and headed into the kitchen to help wash dishes. The shiny new dishwasher sat next to the sink, untouched. Dad bought the gift last year for Christmas. It hadn’t gone down too well, hence why it remained unused. Mom could hold a grudge for a very long time. Her argument was simple. Who got a loved one a house appliance as a gift?
The cozy kitchen smelled like home: baked bread and cookies. The table where I’d sat as a child doing homework under her watchful eye bore scratches, yet she wouldn’t part with it. The curtains, which she changed every six months, were currently red with white flowers. I missed these constants when I was back in Belton.
