Thalassa blinked back her tears, revealing a smile tinged with relief. “Yeah, it’s just better with Mom around.”

“Why are you home so early?” Evelyn asked, her brows knitting with concern. Typically, it was Evelyn who went to pick up the kids before Thalassa got off work.

“Are you worried they gave me the boot?” Thalassa chuckled, her eyes crinkling at the

“I’m fine, Mom. Everything’s peachy as long as you’re by my side,” Thalassa said, hugging Evelyn tightly.

After all, a kid with their mom is a blessed thing indeed.
