“Mom, it’s okay, I’m all good.” He said into his phone as he wandered up and down the sidewalk, waiting for the conversation to end so that he could find somewhere to eat, his stomach rumbling with every step. “Yes, I have completely unpacked.” He told her, making a face at his own lie - but she didn’t have to know that he hadn’t even attempted to start unpacking. “Yes, okay, I’ve got to go, ma. I love you. Bye...Bye.” He said, as he saw someone approaching him, waiting for her response before he hung up. “Hey, do you know of any good food places around here? I feel like this place is a damn maze.” He said with a cheeky grin. He had moved here a month ago, but he had been travelling for work until now so had no time to unpack or even get to know the place. Not that he was a planner.
