"It is strange... I got a letter yesterday.. I came here as soon as I could.
I'm sorry I missed her funeral.. We may have had bad moments but she was a
descent person." Milo said.
NM:
Marissa closed her eyes and bowed her head, moving the new emotions that
came with the mention of her mom and the funeral. Odd because she knew what
had happened, knew then that her mother was gone -- but something about
hearing the part about her being 'a decent' person kind of hit her.
"She was my mom." she said quietly, the spoken words with more meaning than
just what was said. Her mother, for whatever reason, had kept father and
daughter apart, but for how the rest of it went -- Reese knew her mother
would have gone to hell and back for her only child. To Reese, she was more
than just 'decent'. And she was gone.
She didn't hold what Milo said against him, was in fact pretty sure he meant
it in the best of ways. But her mother was still dead.
"I, um.. " she swallowed and forced herself to get some kind of control over
her emotions "Is there maybe a time or opprotunity we can.. meet?"
She looked at Sam and gave her friend a crooked, meaning to assure her, kind
of smile, but was pretty sure she hadn't fooled her.
Then she looked at Claire and Brady, asking Milo to hold on a second as she
covered the mouth piece and asked "Would you mind if he joined us for
breakfast?"
