Prompt: [community profile] rainbowfic Antique Brass 13, Oh, you know, texting. It's what the kids do these days instead of going to dinosaur races.

Notes: Backstory to a novel/duology I'm in the planning stages for. This story is probably really confusing because I tried to avoid spoilers--the stuff the mom is worrying about is a major part of the plot.
