I played along, not wanting to worry her. "That's nice. I'm glad they're taking good care of you."

I nodded in understanding. "Go ahead. I'll stay a bit longer with my mother."

He hesitated, clearly reluctant to leave me alone. "I can send a car for you later."

"I'll be fine," I assured him. "Thank you for everything today."

After Lucas left, my mother and I chatted about inconsequential things, both of us grateful for the peaceful moment amidst the

chaos of our lives.
