Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed
Mom forced a smile, pretending like she didn't hear, but I knew the smile sparkled in her eyes.
The door was knocked on a minute later. I smoothed out my shirt and opened the door. Darla stood in front of me, dressed in a dark blue blazer and skin-tight pants, her hair pulled back tidily. Even in a casual setting, she carried that air of calm self-possession.
"Good morning," I said, moving aside to allow her entrance.
"Mornin'," she replied with a correct nod before moving inside behind me.
Mom was huddled on the couch, a blanket around her legs. Darla's expression softened the instant she saw her. "Good morning, ma'am," she replied warmly.
