Helicopter

For the record, Cassandra Haven would have liked it noted that she was not a helicopter mom.

She did not hover about while her son tried to live his best life.

All that she did was make sure that he was safe. 

And that he was happy, that was it. She was not an overbearing mother. She was just a woman who'd had to raise her son as a single mom, while running a huge company. It had not been an easy task. But as difficult as raising him alone had been. She had managed to raise a strong, independent young man.

But even now that Derek was a grown man who could take care of himself. Cassandra was having trouble just letting go of all of the control that she'd had. Especially when it came to keeping an eye on him. After the whole debacle where she had made the monumental mistake, of breaking him and Emily up. Cassandra had realized that she needed to loosen the reins a bit, otherwise she would lose her son for good.
