“None of that went as planned.” Mara threw open a cabinet in search of plates, didn’t find any, and tried two more.

Kaden had stepped out briefly after their uncomfortable emotional encounter. Jak was in the office, making it into his own room. His father had said he could change anything around he wanted. The room hadn’t been used in years.

Mara finally found the plates and placed three on the counter. Everyone, including her, was starving. She tried to distract herself from how stupid she was behaving by preparing the sandwiches. It didn’t work. Her head bowed down and she placed the knife flat on the counter, her hand resting on top of it.

I hate him. Tears threatened to spill again. The thought wasn’t a lie… exactly. She wanted to pound her fists against his chest and scream enough curse words to make a demon blush. So many years spent with anger. Shedding it was nearly impossible. And being home caused the original, sickening ache of betrayal to twist her insides. Like a knife driven into her gut, an open wound in her heart.

I love him. She wrapped her fingers around the handle of the knife and held it in her hand. Loving him made her rage more than hating him. Her hand lifted and she stabbed downward, driving the blade into the cutting board. When she let go, the knife stood straight up on its own. She splayed her fingers and examined her palm. It was red from how tightly she’d been holding onto the handle.

“Mom, is that sandwich done yet?” Jak called out.

Mara frowned, taking hold of the knife again and tugging. It didn’t budge from the huge chunk of chopping block. “Not yet.” She yelled, trying to get back into motherly mode instead of that of an unstable psycho.

“This room is awesome.” He yelled, not coming into the kitchen.

After several more tugs, she finally dislodged the blade. “Great!” She drew in a tense breath and sighed.

“I found a bunch of neat stuff. Arrowheads, old books, and even some records. Didn’t see a record player, though.” He told her when he entered the kitchen.

“Why do you want to listen to a record when you have tons of music downloaded?” So long as she kept the conversation going, hopefully she could stop herself from freaking out again.
