"What are men to rocks and mountains?"
—Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
After filling ourselves with dinner made by the Aita's family and Loralie, Elwyn's parents and mine left for home together after saying our goodbyes. I still didn't reveal to my mother about my voice because as planned, I wanted it to be a surprise. While on the way, I was imagining all the possible reactions my mom would display when I would finally speak to her after ten long, hard years. We were now passing through the forbidden woods.
Can't wait to get home.
"It must be hard on Calvin's mom because of her son's personal problems and a crappy husband huh? Thank God we don't have the 'bad husband' problem. Even if we did, I would have killed him in his sleep or buried him alive in a land mine and blown it off if he even touched a strand of hair of my cute little son." She smirked, probably imagining the whole scene.
Why am I only surrounded by violent women?
"I'm not cute, mom."
