In The Eyes of the Beholder

The room became deadly quiet as Ran continued to eat his grapes and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

"You didn't tell us that could be possible." Florence almost shouted at her mother.

"Of course I didn't tell you." She said softly. "I didn't want either of you all to know. Besides ... I didn't think this would not work out. I trusted you all immensely."

"A whole lot of help that did us." Florence spat out as Lily covered her ears with her hands, eyes widening with panic.

Emily is just out of it right now as she blankly stared over at Ran.

"But it failed. Now, what are we going to do?" Florence asked, screaming at the woman. "What do you intend to do now?"

"I already have a plan for that! So don't worry about it." She said suddenly, breathing in and out.

"What plan?" Lily asked a tired look on her face. "What is your plan mother? I haven't even had the chance to live my life and it is about to be over."
