TRUETT
MY PHONE RINGS, waking me up. Seeing it’s my mother, I pick it up off
my nightstand.
Yes, I may be an asshole, but I don’t ignore my mother’s phone calls. That
has to count for something, right?
“Hello?” Blurry-eyed, I sit up, my feet touching the hardwood floor of my
cabin nestled in the foothills of Big Bear Mountain.
“Truett? Honey, you should be up by now. It’s nearly seven o’clock.”
“Mom, seven o’clock in the morning does not mean I should be up by
now.”
“I know dear, but the early bird gets the worm.”
“Mom, I’m not looking for any worms.”
“What are you doing though, sweetheart? I worry about you. I was
thinking, maybe I should come for a visit.”

“A visit?” I croak, rubbing my eyes. Coffee. I need coffee for this
conversation. Outside, I see it’s going to be a gorgeous fucking day like every
one out here. It’s a goddamn paradise. “Mom, did you call for something? It’s
really fucking early.”
“Language, Truett.”
“You kidding me?”
“No,” she says, “well, maybe. I don’t know. Honey, I was thinking I
should come see you. I just worry about you out there all alone.”
“I’ve been out here for three years, Mom. It’s not like this is something
new.”
“I know, but I thought I could make you a good homecooked meal.
When’s the last time you’ve had someone cook for you?”
“It’s been a while,” I say, as I begin to prepare a pot of coffee. Basic black
coffee. Sure, I like a fancy dinner, but my morning joe? Basic, simple
medium-ground filtered coffee.
“You know, everyone’s been buzzing about this new restaurant in LA.
Have you heard of it? Perfect Pair?”
“Yeah, Mom. I’ve heard of it. Everyone’s been talking about it.”
“Oh, so you are talking to people, just not your mother?”
“I’m talking to you now, aren’t I?”
“Sure, you are, but–”
“Mom, really?”
“Well, who were you talking to about the restaurant?”
“Not talking, I guess,” I clarify. “I was just reading about it. You know,
food blogs, the internet, news sources.”
“Well, I heard it was supposed to be a really secretive place.”
“Not so secret if you’re reading about it in Colorado and I’m reading about
it out here in the woods.”
“I suppose not. Well, what if we got a reservation, you and me? Wouldn’t
that be so fun? We could get a table and I could fly down and you could drive
in and we could have a little dinner date. Mother-son bonding. It’s been a
long time, True. I miss you, baby.”
“You really don’t need to call me baby. I’m nearing 30.”
“I know, your birthday is in a month. Should we do something? Take a
trip? Maybe Sedona? You know, I heard Arizona is a really great place to
meet single women.”
