Mom and Kara sat down across from each other at Ricardo’s. Neither knew exactly what to say or do, or how this even happened.

“Ok Mom,” Kara tried to explain. “When we took Annie home, I knew you wanted to tell her mother about the call. I stayed in the car because I couldn’t wait to drop her off and leave, seriously.”

She paused to finger-comb her hair, returning to the moment she and Annie made eye contact. “It was the look she gave me that said ’don’t do this to me’. It made me think we can work this out, so she can live with us.”

The waitress brought their sandwich over with two plates. Mom spoke before picking up her half. “I had the same idea, Kara. The question is…we’re willing to give her another chance, but will Annie see it that way. For starters, she needs to quit lying and bring up her grades.”

“I don’t know, Mom,” Kara reasoned. “What I really hate is…the way her mother can’t wait to get rid of her.”

“Me too,” Mom readily agreed, “that’s not going to happen. I have a few rules in mind for Annie AND her mother. We’ll go over them in the morning.”
