Jayvaughn had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit the truth. He drew in a breath and told his mother, "Yes, I succeeded. I'm with him now."
There was a pause on the other end of the line.
Then, like an explosion of fireworks, Dayonna squealed so loudly that Jayvaughn had to pull his phone away from his ear.
"You what? You succeeded?" she gasped, her voice hitting octaves that could shatter glass. "You're telling me that my son finally bagged the person he's been mooning over for months now? This… This is real?!"
Jayvaughn sighed. "Yes, Mom. It's real."
"Aahh! I can't believe it!" she continued, completely ignoring his mild tone. "My dreams are finally coming true! A real-life boys' love story unfolding right before my eyes. And not just any BL—my own son's! I have front-row seats to a live-action romance saga!"
Jayvaughn rubbed his temples, his silence speaking volumes as his mother descended further into full-blown fangirl mode.
