“There’s this girl who grew up without a mom. When she was older, she found out where her mom lived and decided to surprise her. The mother didn’t know what to say or do, so she walked away. The girl wanted to give up, but friends wouldn’t let her. This helped her see things…differently.” Suzanne stopped to get the tremor out of her voice, and took a sip of tea. “The reason she wanted to see her mother was to feel a part of something. Her mother didn’t make that happen, but her friends did.”
With that Suzanne took a last sip of tea and put her mug on the tray.
“Wow,” was all Kara could say. She took her phone off the charger. “Before you go, let’s check out Neil’s mystery question. Could you believe him last night?”
“Ya think?” Suzanne replied, imitating him perfectly.
Kara read it out loud. “In grade school Kara talked about her mom, but not her dad. So I asked what he did, like for work. She didn’t answer and avoided me after that. Annie filled me in on the rest. All of you are pretty together. How would you be different with both parents around?”
“Really, Neil…how would we know?” Kara asked in frustration.
“That’s the easy answer,” Suzanne explained. “He wants to know how we think it’s affected us. Like yesterday when things didn’t go like I thought with Eleanor. I almost wanted my world to end, but guess what…I still have a paper to write. Like Mom said at Ricardo’s, none of us have exactly put our lives on hold.”
“So…it’s as important as we make it? I do know plenty of messed up kids with both parents. I’ll have to think about an answer on my run,” Kara decided.
“Add this to the list. Why don’t you take Psychology?” Suzanne suggested, putting her pea coat on. “You’re already pretty good at it.”
“Really?” She questioned. “Ok I will…think about it, if you find out about Neil.”
After the bedroom door closed, Kara snuggled in her fleece robe and sat down on the bed to check texts. There was one from Scott asking about Suzanne. She answered with a ‘much better’ and ‘thanks’ for last night. Scott’s dad paid for everything. Kara looked at Suzanne’s mug on the tray. It wasn’t like her to ‘forget’ to give her a hug before leaving. Kara decided she got the ‘thanks’ she needed in Suzanne’s ‘Turning Point’. She finished her tea and put on her running sweats.
