Chapter 87: Confessions To Grandmother

She could probably protest the mech guard outside her lab door or the cousins who peek in on her despite the closecam footage that tracks her, but she's out of squidge to give for the sudden increase in observation. Instead, Didi dives head first into working in her lab, keeping her agile mind occupied and happy while she bubbles with frustration that neither of her grandparents will talk to her about Petal or Tarvis.

Bo lingers, but she shoos him off with her attitude and forced irritation just to get him to leave her alone. Yes, she's over her initial snit in his direction, especially now she's met her mother. For some reason seeing Petal's face has eased Didi's anger at Bo's duplicity. Why does she suddenly trust the strange woman she knows is her mother more than the two grandparents who have treated her as nothing but a joy and a treasure since her arrival?

Because, her mind whispers as she tweaks Pip's systems with the new tech she has unlimited access to, she's my mom.
