Promise sign
In front of the house, we stopped and the familiar sound of her voice finally broke the silence in the car.
"I can't believe she said so many bad things. I regret having spent so many years worrying about her opinion."
She took a long sigh, "I just wasted my time with her."
I took her hand, "at least you told her and now you don't have to hide anymore."
I tried to search for the positive in that situation but there was nothing positive about how my mother threatened my sister. I guess being said that kind of things hurt a lot but what hurt even more was that Angie always doubted her love interests yet never tried to support her or make her feel better. A mother, blood of your same blood, who didn't care if her daughter was fine or not.
"Thanks, Lily." She said offering me one of the fakest smiles I had ever seen on her face.
