“Mom, I don’t understand… you aren’t making much sense.”
“I know Charlee, it’s just so hard to explain, I’ve locked down these feelings for years, and I’m trying my best to explain to you our history.”
I looked at her, and for once she looked her age, her lips turned down in a frown, I could see the wrinkles, there were bags under her eyes that I had never noticed before and a sadness around her that had never been there before, I wanted to tell her to stop, that I didn’t need to know, but that would have been a lie and now I needed to know more than ever.
