When I walk into the house, I see them and they're laughing?
"You've certainly been through some adventures, Mrs. Cyrene"
"Please, call me Cecilia."
"Only if you call me Will."
Standing in the doorway, I feel my jaw hit the floor. What in tarnation is going on here?
"Oh Astra, you're back. I was thinking we should take Will out for lunch."
"Actually mom we-"
"Would love nothing more." Will says interrupting me.
"Let me go get dressed and we'll go. There's a great place and it's only an hour from here."
I wait till she leaves the room to whisper my questions.
"What was that Will?"
"I told you I'd handle your mother. She's being handled."
"Cecilia? Lunch? What is going on?"
"You want her handled or not?"
"Of course I want her handled."
