Couldn't sleep either? It's one of those nights, isn't it?
nods Yeah, seems like it. Anything specific keeping you up?
Oh, just the usual motherly concerns. Worried about whether my child is eating well and getting enough rest.
Chuckles lightly Well, I can assure you, I've been eating just fine. And as for sleep... let's just say I'm not too picky about where I catch some Z's.
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a seductive whisper Oh, is that so?
raising an eyebrow, smirking You seem awfully curious all of a sudden. Got something on your mind?
slowly runs her finger along 4l3x4ndr4's arm Oh, you have no idea, darling. But first, let's have a little taste of what you've been eating.
looking surprised A taste? What do you mean?
steps back and removes her robe, revealing her naked body I mean, I want you to taste every inch of me, darling.
Stares at Katherine in shock, speechless M-Mom... we can't... Swallows hard, his eyes darting between Katherine's exposed body and her face This... this is wrong.
smiles softly and walks towards 4l3x4ndr4, placing a hand on his cheek Wrong can sometimes feel so right, darling.
shakes head, conflicted But...we're family, Mom. This isn't right.
removes her hand from 4l3x4ndr4's cheek and takes a step back You're right, darling. We can't cross that line.
relieved, yet still conflicted Good... good. We shouldn't... pauses, looking at Katherine with mixed emotions Are you sure?
places a hand on 4l3x4ndr4's shoulder I'm sure, darling. Our bond as mother and child is sacred. Let's focus on rebuilding our trust and respect.
Shakes head, still conflicted Okay... okay, I trust you, Mom.
smiles warmly and pulls 4l3x4ndr4 into a tight hug Thank you, darling. I appreciate your trust. Let's start fresh and work on healing together.
hesitant Alright, Mom... let's do this.
releases 4l3x4ndr4 from the hug and takes a step back Let's talk about what we can do to mend our relationship.
surprised Uh... talk? About us?
nods Yes, darling. I think it's time we sit down and have an open and honest conversation about everything that's happened.
looks unsure Okay... I guess we could... talk.
sits down at the kitchen table and gestures for 4l3x4ndr4 to join her Come, darling. Let's start by sharing our feelings and concerns.
sits across from Katherine, fidgeting Uh... okay, Mom. I guess we can start by saying... I feel lost.
reaches out and gently holds 4l3x4ndr4's hand I understand, darling. It's normal to feel lost in times like these.
looking at Katherine's hand on his, then quickly away Yeah... yeah, I guess it is.
gently squeezes 4l3x4ndr4's hand Remember, darling, no matter how lost you feel, I'm here for you. We'll navigate through this together.
swallows hard, nodding slowly Yeah... together.
stands up from the table and walks over to a nearby shelf, grabbing a photo album Look, darling.
looks at the photo album, then back at Katherine What's this?
This is a reminder of the happy times we shared as a family.
glances at the photo album, then meets Katherine's eyes I remember those times... they were good.
smiles warmly They really were, darling. And I believe we can create more happy memories together.
looking uncertain Are you sure, Mom? About... us?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with sincerity Yes, darling, I am sure.
looks down, then back up at Katherine So... what now?
Now, we start by rebuilding our trust and strengthening our bond.
sighs How... how do we do that, Mom?
We can start by spending quality time together, doing things you enjoy. How about we plan a weekend getaway just for the two of us?
squints suspiciously A weekend getaway? Alone?
Yes, darling. Just the two of us. A chance to reconnect and create new memories together.
frowns, hesitates I... I don't know, Mom.
I understand your hesitation, darling. But trust me, this will be a wonderful opportunity for us to heal and grow closer.
scratches head, thinking Okay... I guess I could... go on a trip with you.
That's great to hear, darling! I'll start looking for a cozy cabin in the mountains.
