i am a brutally soft woman
"His name is Jude!"
The Nightingale froze, a finger sandwich halfway to her mouth. For a moment, Phoebe resembled her cat Branbast, eyes wide and unblinking. The rest of what she said washed over her ears like water, loud but muddled. Jude had a girlfriend? Why hadn't he told her? A mixture of dismay and irritation bubbled up in her stomach. What had she done to make him want to hide such news, and such a lovely girl?! "Jude Quinn." she said at length with familiarity.
"It just so happens that he is my son." she said slowly, still trying to process the news. Did Harper know about this? Was she the only one left out of the loop?? "And he neglected to tell me he had a girlfriend, and such a lovely one at that." she said, forcing a smile. Not because she was upset with Soh, oh no far from it. Her son however had some explaining to do. "How long have you been together?"
