"I suppose it does." Tevos responds with a quiet sigh. " - I just meant that it does not feel like you are an adult, considering how little I know you…It’s a shame."
She smiles, rubbing the back of her neck for a moment. "Well, I’m gonna be around a lot for the next while so … Maybe you can get a chance to get to know me better? I wouldn’t mind spending more time with you, Mom."
“I would like that as well,” Tevos replies, a smile making its way to her lips. “That would mean a lot, actually.” Pleasant familial interaction was a skill that Tevos still needed heavy practice in…but she’s trying.
