“I can’t believe it’s over already,” complained Charlie.

“Back to the grind tomorrow,” said Emily.

“Yeah, ski season starts this week. Back to the grind.” She giggled, while her sister glared at her. “You could always quit your job and move to Colorado with me.”

“I don’t need two kids with no health insurance,” said Anne.

“Mom, you worry too much. I have insurance through the resort, so I’ll be fine.”

“Yes, but only during the actual ski season,” Anne said. Charlie rolled her eyes, having had this discussion numerous times.

“Mom, it’s almost seven fifteen,” said Emily.

“Oh, right. Okay, y’all lock up when you leave and have a safe trip back. I’m going to miss y’all so much at Thanksgiving. I kind of wish I wasn’t going.”

“Right,” said Emily sarcastically. “I’ll bet you’re going to miss us while you are having fun in Paris.”

“Besides, Mom. You’ll finally get to use your passport.”

“Now, we may have to have ‘The Talk’ before you go and spend four days with Henri. Between those eyes and that accent, he’s going to be hard to resist.”

“Oh yes, I think I should definitely help give you ‘The Talk.’ This could be really fun,” Charlie quipped.

“Once again—why am I glad I have daughters?”

“Because you love us so much,” said Charlie.

“And because your life would be boring without us. Hmmm. Well, maybe not anymore.”

“So speaking of your life not being boring… Are you going to talk to us about what happened on that car ride with Mr. Gherring last night? Did you wreck the car or something? The tension was pretty thick when y’all came back.”

“Nothing happened. I was just tired, that’s all.”

“Come on, Mom. Something must have happened. You’ll feel better if you talk about it,” said Emily

Anne thought for a moment. Perhaps it would be best to get the whole thing off her chest. To get her feelings out in the open. Maybe it would sound better if she told the story to someone else. Maybe she wouldn’t feel so foolish.

No, this was a problem she needed to handle by herself. After all, she was the mother, and they were the children. She couldn’t be asking them for advice about how to control your emotions.

She turned to the girls and forced a smile. “Don’t worry. It really was nothing. Now, come give me hugs. I’ve gotta go.”
