When Audra's mum dies, she goes back home, even knowing she would finally have to face his first love, Chris – who’s also his foster brother. After what appears to have been a pretty painful breakup, they’ve been avoiding each other over the past 11 years. But will the pain of the loss bring them back together? Or would the bad memories be too much? The journey from here only gets more eventful, when her mum leaves a surprise condition on her will that would turn Audra’s life around.
After making something fast with whatever I could find in the kitchen, I set up a small table in the living room, lighting a few candles to create a romantic ambience, it was simple, but what mattered was the little gesture and spending time together.
Just as with Claire, Chris and I barely had a moment alone during the week, this was the perfect time to catch up. When Chris arrived, he looked pleasantly surprised.
"What's all this?" he asked, a smile spreading across his face.
"Just thought we could have a nice dinner together," I said, pulling him into a hug.
We sat down to eat, enjoying the food and each other's company. As we talked, the conversation naturally turned to my mom's mysterious behaviour.
"She's been acting a bit odd lately," I told Chris, recounting the evening's brief encounter with my mom. "There have been a few times when she's come home late without much of an explanation."
