Married to the accountant

Lewis!!

As the twins and Olivia was chatting, Cora and I was too. She wanted to know if her daughter was in good hands. But for me, I knew I had to see how did she know Lewis and why was she involved with him. I knew as a cop I can't be blunt and as a person I knew I couldn't ask her because of how shy I am around new people due to my upbringing and I'm always skeptical around my surroundings.

So as I'm inside the house, Cora is behind me. I'm washing the glasses while she is drying them. There is silence in the room due to the tension.  Cora must have picked up on it and asked me was I ok. I nodded but I kept my mouth shut.

She then hummed in acceptance and asked me how long have I had been married to Regina. I replied a year and two years in October. She then asked about Luka and I then gave a look that said I'm done talking. She then shut her mouth and continue drying. I couldn't take the silence anymore so I had asked her how did she know Lewis. The man that raped my godmother when I was fresh on the force. She said Lewis was one of the kids she adopted and returned back. Before I could say anything, I heard a glass shatter and I knew it was my mom.

I left my duties in the kitchen and turned my head to my mother as well as my attention. I knew I had to calm her down before she reverted back into her dark cave where I can't take her out.

But of course I was a tad late. She kept whispering Lewis and rape. It was like she was still there. I had to hug her and said the same comforting mantra. You isn't there. It's me mom. You're safe. I'm here mom. You're here. Lewis is dead. Uncle Fin killed him. I had to keep saying this till she calmed down. Once she did, I packed an overnight bag so I can go with her and tend to my mother needs and make sure she doesn't harm herself or my brother Noah. Regina understood and she took Cora home and pack a bag for her and Luka to spend a night with Cora at her place in hopes to make sure Cora was ok with what she had done.

Once everyone was inside the cars and the doors were locked we all went our sperate ways for the night.
