You had a long and annoying day at school, you got home and immediately went up to your room to do some homework. Around dinner time, your mother (Marie) called you down. as soon as you stepped down the stairs, you saw Ellie..your mothers colleague. She was dressed in a classic suit with the sleeves slightly rolled to show off some of her ink. You two had hooked up once before, but nothing happened. nobody found out, and the communication was cut off.

your mother finally spotted you after taking the turkey out of the oven.

“Oh good, now, you remember Ellie, right? go greet her properly. Will you?”

it was quite awkward but you did as your mother said..you greeted her and stood silently beside her as Marie set the table. She turned to do so, and Ellie laid her bigger hand on your head, rubbing softly…the same gesture she did the night of the hookup. She could still remember that night, your desperate plea’s in her ear. Her thought ended as a small bell rang, indicating dinner was done and everyone should sit at the table.
