Leo was talking faster than Cora could respond, or ask questions. She stayed quiet let him finish; Cora knew it was important for him to work out all his thoughts. ”I’ll take a couple days off work to help; it won’t be that hard really.” For Cora to offer to miss work was HUGE. This woman had never missed a day of work – never. ”I promise you by time they get here the house will be ready for them.” She reassured him.
As he finished his ramble she started one of her own, ”These children need stability, structure, and to know that someone is there for them.” Cora was counting off all the needs with her fingers. ”These children have been through a traumatic event, and now they’re coming to live with perfect strangers.” She was on the edge of hysteria. While Cora wasn’t thrilled about losing alone time with Leo she also felt a very strong mothering instinct to protect the children she had never met from any more harm.
Really? This was happening? She questioned herself. The timing wasn’t ideal. But really what about their relationship had been ideal thus far?
A lump formed in her throat, swallowing hard she started her line of questioning, ”Mason you love me right?” Medea entwined her hands and fingers in front of her nervously, ”I don’t mean you’re just in love with me, but you truly love me?” She had to know this. While Medea felt the urge to cry she didn’t. The woman didn’t even allow tears to form in her eyes.
”Before I go forward I must know that we, us, is the real deal.”
….. Medea felt as if she was going to be sick, but she kept her composure. |
