Stanley's Request

As soon as Kinsey and Katie arrived at the villa, Katie promptly hugged Cathy as a sign of goodbye before her best friend returned to America. There she also saw a middle-aged woman she had never seen. But the contours of the woman's face and eyes were familiar.

Her sad but excited eyes were very similar to those of her foster mother. The way she smiled that showed her dimple on the left was also very similar to her foster mother.

Katie remembered... in the past, her Umbra had told her that the foster mother who had been taking care of her was Keisha's younger sister.

Could it be...?

"It's been a long time since I've dreamed of our meeting." said the woman with great emotion. "Don't you want to welcome your old mother?"

Katie had to blink back the tears, which threatened to spill out of her eyes, which it did anyway. Without further ado, Katie dashed and got into her mother's arms, which had been wide open for her.
