Chapter XXII: Growing Pains

Going about her cottage, the woman brushed away her chin-length white hair and went about the interior, gently humming to herself. Her dress swayed with her movements as she danced along to the music playing and just as her song finished her doorbell rang.

"Well, who could that be, Ms. Snowy?" She looked down at the little kitten before making her way to the door.

A wide smile overcame her face and her blue eyes lightened with joy at the man before her. He was the spitting image of her late husband with dirty blonde hair and misty green eyes; he looked just like his father when he was clean-shaven, but the stubble sported on his jaw made him look more like himself than the deceased.

"Alessio," She pulled him into a hug as he held on just as tightly.

"Hey, ma," He buried his face in her shoulder.

His mother pulled him inside the house, making him sit down as she asked him what brought him all the way to France. He had to laugh at her antics as she placed various refreshments on the table before him.

"I thought I needed a vacation then decided to come to France, dropping by to see how you were doing as well," Alessio played along. "How are you doing?"

"If you want to know whether I miss you and your brother," She called from the kitchen. "Then yes, yes I miss you two and your ruckus,"

"Hey, we don't make that much of a ruckus anymore,"

"You two have such loud presences that it's enough to give me a headache."

Alessio laughed before picking up the kitten and placing it on his lap, playing.

Soon his mother sat down with him, having made a delicious meal enough for four as if though she knew her son would be coming to see her. While they ate, she asked how his brother was doing, and how her future-daughter-in-law was faring. She even asked about how work was going and if things had settled down in the Mafia. She asked about the Regnante's in turn, Arcangelo, Rosalie, Arsenio and his family, Salvatore and his business, Marco and his education, and then when she finally asked about Serafina, Alessio could do nothing but shrug and say she's fine.

"Still have that little crush on her, do you?" His mother, Myriam, chuckled as she put the dishes into the sink. Watching her son give her a weak smile before he began fidgeting with the table mats. "Tell me,"

"Well, ...you know how she was supposed to get married-"

"-And your brother shot the groom on the wedding day on orders of her brother,"

"Yeah, so after that-"

"-You went to Brazil with her and spent the next 2 months there."

"Exactly and there-"

"-Things went too far,"

Alessio stared at his mother's back in shock as she was washing the dishes, and saying that as if though she just hadn't taken the words right out of his mouth.

"How do you-"

"-If I didn't know my sons what sort of a mother would I be?" She wiped her hands on the towel and chuckled at his incredulous expression.
