Mason knew that raised eyebrow well enough, especially paired with a comment about his free time. Fortunately his mother was too busy to otherwise care much about his social life, or lack thereof, or the fact that he had not yet married. "I don't plan to spend the entire summer at the school, if that's what you're implying." Mason, nearing forty now, wasn't sure romance was in the cards for him, but after so many failed attempted, maybe he was just cursed. Maybe that was a little dramatic, but even as a younger man, he hadn't been able to make anything stick, what chance would he have at this point in his life? At least he had a good, strong career in a profession he could work in until he he could no longer do it. Which, given his dedication, could be a long, long time. "I could ask what it is that you plan to do this summer as well." Mason laughed as their drinks were delivered.
