MOTHER AND SON

Myra's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she looked to the others for support, only to find that they were not surprised by Emma's words. It seemed that they, too, were aware of Myra and Dylan's secret. Overwhelmed with shame, Myra covered her face and let out a groan of frustration.

"Really, Emma?" Ashley chided, her frustration evident.

Feeling exposed and vulnerable, Myra couldn't help but ask, "How'd you guys find out?"

Thomas spoke up in a low tone. "Dylan bragged about it," he admitted, his voice tinged with discomfort.

Myra's embarrassment only deepened as she covered her face again, wishing she could disappear. "This is so embarrassing," she mumbled. Josh nodded in sympathy, his expression mirroring her own discomfort.

Emma's sarcastic retort only added insult to injury. "Which one, the fact that they know or that I know?" she asked, her arms crossed defiantly across her chest.
