Lena: fidgeting with a paintbrush H-h-hey, listen. D-d-don't freak out, but... Timmy's dad... he's not who you think.
takes a deep breath and looks Glossyst in the eyes I mean, I cheated. With someone else. Years ago. And now, Timmy... he's their son.
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yeah, I am. It's the truth. Timmy isn't my biological son. He's yours.
sniffs and wipes away her tears Because I was scared, okay? Scared of losing him, scared of losing our bond. I didn't know how you'd react.
shakes her head You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault. I should have told you sooner. I just...I didn't know how to handle it all.
takes a shaky breath You...you want to take Timmy?
I don’t mean right now but eventually
stutters, searching for words I... I don't know, Glossy. It's complicated. I've been his only parent for so long, I don't even know if I could let go.
closes her eyes and takes a deep breath You're right. I can let go. It's what's best for Timmy. He deserves to know his real family.
snaps open her eyes and looks determined You're right. I need to be brave for Timmy.
smirks and rolls her eyes Oh, believe me, I'll always be a great mom. But right now, I need to figure out how to explain this to Timmy.
straightens her back and squares her shoulders Damn right I will. I've been through worse than this.
snaps her fingers Alright, enough moping around. I've got a son to find and some explaining to do.
grabs her coat and heads towards the door Thanks, Glossy. I'll need it. Time to face the music.
I’ll be here when you get back
throws open the door and storms out, her footsteps echoing through the hallway You bet your ass I'll be back.
storms down the stairs and dials Timmy's number on her phone Timmy, it's Mom. We need to talk. Now.
