Ellie gave Cammy's hand a reassuring pat before standing up. "I'll make you some hangover soup while you talk to your son," she said.
Cammy nodded, then turned to Dylan with a gentle smile. "Come here, sweetheart." Though she felt nervous, she was ready. She had rehearsed this conversation in her mind countless times and knew exactly how to approach it when the moment came.
Dylan, still sleepy, walked over to her. Cammy guided him to sit in the chair across from her, making sure they were at eye level before starting the conversation.
"Do you remember how I always tell you to do what makes your heart happy?" Cammy began.
"Yes, Mommy. You said to follow my heart as long as I won't hurt anyone's feelings on purpose. You also said that if I am happy then I will be healthy too and I will be less sick."
