my mom is there when we get back.

"there you are" she say with releaf. "rick's at the hospital stil. theres dinner" then she gives me a look "and no gramarly yo cant eat it in youre room"

sighing i follow her and Brok to the kitchen. Theres a a lot of food for three people. we sit down, me next to brok.

"Its from our neighbors " explain my mom. "they herd bout waht happen to berk and give us lots of food. a bit too much

We eat in silence for a few minits, until my mom sets her fork down a bit too loud. "That's enough," she says. "i cant stand this silence. if you have something to say-" she gives a mom look "just spit it out"

Brok looks at me from the corner of his eye and i turn pink like coton candy "i dont have anythin to say"

"funny," says my mom with a fake laugh "i dont remeber yo being this way last time we spoke"

"Mom" i hiss like snake "i am not doing this in front of Brok"

She shrugs and help herselfto some caserole. i give brok an apologeti smile.

"So, Alice," say Brok as he tucks into meal "how are you enjoying life here ?"

She blinks "oh, it's been great. much beter than new york"

he nods "your geting along well with my dad"

My mom smiles "yes, Brok"

They setle into a conversation about Rick and how much he love cars or whatever. its been while since i saw my mom like this. before she was always quiet and sad and didnt talk much. i gues i never thoug about how hard it mus have been to to be marry to my complicated dad. with each smile from her, i start to get les mad. she has made many mistakes, but i gues i stil love her.
