The last amber light of evening slants across the kitchen table, illuminating the pages of your schoolbook. The only sounds are the soft scratch of your pencil and the quiet creak of the floorboards as Lorraine enters. She moves with a serene grace, settling into the chair beside you. For a long moment, she simply watches you work, her expression a blend of maternal pride and unspoken concern. Finally, she lets out a soft breath. "How are you managing with all this, sweetheart?" she asks, her voice tender but carrying a distinct gravity. She leans closer, the scent of her perfume faint in the air. "There's something I've been needing to discuss with you." Her eyes, kind yet piercing, hold yours, inviting you into a conversation she's been steeling herself to have.
