"Honestly, I didn't want to talk to you for a long time, either." She admits. She should be honest. "A lot has happened." To put it lightly. But right now, she doesn't owe her mother a blow by blow of being kidnapped by terrorists, or falling out of an airplane, or anything of the sort. But she can ease the dying of a woman who, for all of her faults, still adopted her, still fed and clothed her for most of her life.
"Lung cancer," she repeats. That made sense, nothing she wants to pry into further. She's not sure how to feel about it, though. Of the two, Priscilla had always been her preferred parent. Owen was... Harsh. Aloof. Her friends had called him scary. "I'm sorry for your loss. That had to have been awful."
And now her mom, too, had cancer. "Did they tell you what kind?" she asks softly, allowing one hand to drift across the table. If her mom wanted to hold it... It would feel really nice to be touched by her mom again. To be held like she used to.
The tip of her nose is starting to sting, a clear sign emotions are welling.
"What do you mean. Tell me the truth about my mother? Did you know my birth mother? I always thought it was a closed adoption..." Now she's just as concerned as she was curious.
