Can We Talk?

[~RAEGAN~]

The sun has finally set by the time I make it back home with Rune and he goes right up into his room as though he was hypnotized to do so.

Our walk back home was mostly quiet but it wasn't uncomfortable. Besides, I was lost in my own head thinking of the next step to take from this storm. And if I was to pull us out of it, we would have to talk about our way forward and that includes talking to her about it.

That is the hardest part after all. Convincing her… And that on its own would not be easy. Hell, it might even be downright impossible.

Right now, I’m just grateful that she hasn’t rejected us yet— A week ago we would have lost her completely if mother hadn’t intervened. I made sure to show my gratitude for that. Mother never hit us nor did she show any displeasure for our sin. I was grateful for that, we had enough beating from father to last a lifetime, It hurts to even think about it.
