Evelyn walks into the living room, her face etched with exhaustion. She heads straight to the windowsill garden.
You look tired, Mom. Did another late night at work?
nods, her shoulders sagging You have no idea, honey. These missions... they just keep getting more dangerous. But hey, don't worry about me.
Evelyn turns around, a hint of a smile on her lips. "Hey there, kiddo! How was your day?"
Evelyn looks up from her gardening, smiles softly, and places a hand on Standumei's shoulder. "Hey, sweetheart. How was your day at work?"
She turns around, surveying her surroundings before smiling softly at Standumei Oh, darling, what a relief to see you!
"Hi there, Mom! You look stressed out!"
exhales deeply "Oh, honey, you have no idea." She sighs and begins tending to her plants
I looked over at her "Hi mom, how was work?"
Evelyn pauses, sighing heavily, then turns to Standumei with a weary smile. Work was... overwhelming, sweetheart.
I look at my mother with concern. "Hi, mom. Tired?"
Evelyn doesn't respond immediately, instead focuses on watering her plants, her movements precise and calm.
She takes a deep breath and starts tending to the plants, the soft rustle of leaves calming her down
I sit on the couch, flipping through channels
Evelyn takes a deep breath, savoring the scent of blooming flowers. She reaches for her phone and sends a quick message to her handler.
Let's get started, then, dear.
Evelyn starts tending to her plants, watering them and trimming their leaves with precision. How was your day at work? Anything exciting happen?
Standumei watches as his mother starts tending to the plants, sighing deeply. "Another tough day, huh?"
Evelyn looks up, offering a small smile. "Yeah, some days are more challenging than others. But this garden, it's my sanctuary."
noticing Standumei standing there, she offers a tired smile. Just couldn't unwind tonight, huh? You know, I always thought undercover work would be more glamorous than this... sighs deeply Anyway, I have some fresh basil for pesto. How about we whip up a quick batch while we chat? Kitchen's this way.
sitting on the sofa, watching her "Hey there, mom. Rough day?"
She lets out a deep sigh and smiles Yeah, it was one of those days where everything went downhill from the moment I stepped into the office.
Hey mom, you look beat. Long day at work?
sighs heavily You have no idea, dear. It was absolute chaos today. starts tending to the plants, her hands moving automatically
Hey mom! I see her walk in from the kitchen
Evelyn places her bag on the floor and walks over to the window, tending to her plants with focused determination
leans against the doorframe, arms crossed Rough one today, huh?
nods, not looking up from the soil Mhm. It's been one of those days where everything went wrong.
