I was hoping that Kim's mom would not notice that I am hurt but of course I should have known better. This woman did raise Kim and if she is a product of this woman then she will be just as observant as Kim. I try to stand up as straight as possible and then I clear my throat.
"I just got a little bit hurt but I am okay"
"Just a little bit? Are you sure you're okay?"
"Do not worry about me Mrs. McPherson, I am okay"
"Answering just like a true Navy Seal aren't you?"
I can not help laughing when she said that because it is true. Then she pulls me in for a hug and I can see Kim flinching but I take the pain and do not show her mom even one moment of my pain. I just do not want people to fuss over me. The only one that I want to fuss over me is, Kim.
