.. But... wait, what do you mean?- You know what I mean - Why should I? At the very beginning Tom was afraid that all this would've evolved into some ...ort of mutual rejection. It felt strange. And intensely weird. And then some of that weirdness have found its way to become something else. Tom knew that mom knew... She knew that this whole situation could get awkward very easily.
