''Hazel suggested that I should attend a Grief Group for Widowers''states Liam. Thinking of the idea repulsive & unnecessary seeing that doesn't need advice from someone who.Doesn't know what he has been feeling that past year? The only person who knows him better than himself is gone?
Holly then hears the words and knows who was behind the reason why Hazel told Liam that as she overheard their mom telling Hazel at their family's annual Christmas Cookie party about mentioning the idea of him attending a Grief group for widows.''Momma told Hazel to talk about attending a grief group'' spills Holly wanting her big brother to know the truth. Hearing those words makes it to where if his blood is boiling, this had nothing to do with Hazel? It had his mom written all over it, and she can't ever tell him herself; there always has to be someone else behind it. Momma Brown's meddling might have just caused a rift between the strong love connection forming between himself and Hazel, all because Avery asked Hazel to do her dirty work for her to prevent tension between a mother & son. Although it might have caused tension for a chance at love that has yet to start?''Why doesn't that surprise me? She always has to meddle with every little thing, Im taking care of this right now as he is about to get up. Right after I eat ''states Liam as he sits back down.
''You know that momma means well, & all of us have noticed that you are still maybe in a fog over what happened. Maybe she is right on this one though, I mean, it's been a year now, and you have yet to admit that you need help, ''says Holly agreeing with Avery over her own brother, which. It makes him flabbergasted that his little sister would even mention this to him. The last thing that he needs is a stranger's advice on how to cope with his feelings on his late wife." I can't believe that you are taking her side on this; I thought we Brown siblings always had each other's backs but maybe. I misdoubted that. I think I will take this to go, after all, you know what forget the omelet; just put my coffee in a cup to go & give me a Blueberry muffin to go," states Liam, not being to be in the same room as his sister at the moment. There is only one Brown family member that hasn't kept secrets or turned his back on him. He then headed to his dad's practice to talk and open talk with him man to man.
Holly then sighs in defeat on why her brother is incomplete in denial that he does need help; it's to where will he. Ever listen to anyone they know is the best for him, physically & mentally, would also give Liam a fresh state of mind. On everything that happened this past year, and figure out what helps him cope, whenever. A memory or something triggers his brain when it comes to Zoey, the most vulnerable & sensitive topic, when it is discussed or come across at town gatherings. Liam is on his way driving his Black Sheriff of Peppermint, Vermont truck to his dad's practice. Needing some insight on what everyone is telling him is right? Plus, another Brown man's perspective on where his momma was coming from when she asked Hazel to talk to him for Avery to avoid confrontation between a momma and her son.
However, Avery just opened a can of worms when she did, and it caused more damage than she thought it caused. Instead of just being open with Liam, she feels this is the best for him, but no, that wasn't the case.''Hey, dad, can we talk?'' asks Liam as he steps into his father's office, seeing how this conversation is gonna go since they haven't seen eye to eye after the last family gathering they had at The Brown family home. Also, last night when he disappeared after the play without a word.
Jeremy looks up from his work and takes off his reading glasses,'' sure bud, what's on your mind? That was very unlike you last night to take off the way you did? Thomas was quiet the rest of the night and barely said more than a few words when someone congratulated him on how great he did ''tells Jeremy.
''After the play last night, Hazel suggested that it would be good for me to go to a Grief Group for Widowers. I walked off to be alone, thinking why on earth would she think something like that to talk to me about. Then this morning, Holly informed me that momma talked to Hazel at the Cookie party Friday night, so now because momma meddled, Hazel probably thinks I am mad at her ''tells Liam. Unaware that Avery has his best interest of heart when it comes to her boy, and thought maybe coming from her son's love interest. It might out from a different perspective of meaning from not a parent's perspective.''You know that your momma always has your best interest at heart; it might not be what you want to hear. However, she means well, and if Zoey were here right now. I'm sure you know she would be telling you the same thing.'' states Jeremy.
''You're right on that one, dad, but if Zoey were alive, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we ''says Liam wishing that everyone would stop telling him what his wife would think in each situation when something goes wrong on his end? Him getting over her, is not gonna bring her back? It will just make him want her more, & he will be right back at the beginning. To Where he was a year ago, so confused & lost, not knowing what to do with his life. It will set Liam back & affect his progress, on his acceptance that she is gone & is never coming back.
