The news from his home province wasn’t exactly cheery. Madison knew that his parents were fine (living in Calgary as they did) but he still felt for the province of his birth. He wasn’t phoning his mother about that - he was calling his mother because he had noticed on his cellphone that he had missed three calls from her.
Thinking that perhaps a family friend had been affected by the fires, he had found an out of the way part of the school grounds, and phoned home. The phone rang once, twice, and on the third ring his mother answered.
The initial pleasantries taken care of, Madison’s mother got to the point. She wanted Madison to go come back to Canada for a visit - a visit with his parents, and then a visit to see his brother. When he was next free of course - after having run into Lil at the school post the bombing, Madison had called his parents to assure them he was okay. So his mother was aware of what was going on and knew that her son had other commitments at the moment.
When Madison pointed out he didn’t even think Lionel was aware that he had visitors - ever, Madison’s mother was quick to point out that she was aware when Madison visited. And she liked having the family “together.”
Not able to resist a parental guilt trip, Madison agreed to a visit home. He just made sure not to specify the date when. He figured that would buy him some time, and room to get out of the trip.
