I, Layla, sat at my kitchen table, barely touching my sandwich, bracing for news I could already sense was going to upend my quiet routine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d I asked, trying to sound calm even as my heart raced.<br>He sighed deeply. \u201cI just got off the phone with Mom. She\u2019s\u2026 uh\u2026 having a really hard time right now. She lost her place and doesn\u2019t have anywhere to go. I told her she could stay with us for a while.\u201d<br>I nearly dropped my fork. \u201cWait. What? YOUR MOM IS BROKE??\u201d<br>Dan\u2019s tone softened, as if trying to cushion the blow. \u201cYeah. She didn\u2019t want to tell me at first, but apparently she\u2019s been struggling for a while. She\u2019s embarrassed, Layla. And she wants to move in with us.\u201d<br>I sat back, disbelief swirling inside me. \u201cIrene? Struggling with money? Dan, we\u2019re talking about the same Irene who just last month posted a selfie flaunting a $500 scarf because she \u2018needed something to brighten her mood\u2019? That Irene is\u2026 BROKE?!\u201d<br>He groaned. \u201cI know, I know. It sounds crazy, but people go through tough times. She\u2019s still human, Layla.\u201d<br>I rubbed my temples, trying to make sense of it all. \u201cDan, I\u2019m not saying we shouldn\u2019t help her, but don\u2019t you think this is a little\u2026 sudden? How do you go from flaunting Louis Vuitton on Instagram to suddenly being homeless overnight?\u201d<br>\u201cShe\u2019s too proud to admit how bad things are,\u201d he replied, frustration creeping into his voice. \u201cLayla, she\u2019s my mom. What was I supposed to do? Tell her no?\u201d<br>I sighed, torn between suspicion and guilt. Dan wasn\u2019t entirely wrong. Irene and I had never exactly been besties, but she was his mom. What could I say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d I finally conceded, \u201cshe can stay in the guest room\u2014but Dan\u2026\u201d<br>\u201cWhat?\u201d he asked, a hint of impatience in his tone.<br>\u201cJust promise me you\u2019ll keep your eyes open. Something about this doesn\u2019t feel right. And it\u2019s only temporary, alright?\u201d<br>He exhaled a long sigh. \u201cThank you. I know this means a lot\u2014to her and to me.\u201d<br>I glanced at the clock and muttered, \u201cI just hope we\u2019re not opening Pandora\u2019s box here.\u201d<br>He chuckled nervously, but neither of us truly laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\" alt=\"Ezoic\" title=\"ezoic\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Little did I know that in just a few hours, my world would be turned upside down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHey, babe\u2026\u201dDan\u2019s voice came over the phone that crisp afternoon, unusually strained.
