Chapter 76 - 77
Liora~
When her mom asked if she’d eaten lunch, Liora felt the tension drain out of her shoulders.
She didn’t sound angry at all. Not about Liora sneaking away Saturday morning, not about the whole weekend spent with Daddy and Aunt Sienna.
Relief washed over her.
See? She knew her mom would never actually be mad at her!
Her mom loved her too much to stay upset about something like that.
But then Liora thought about something else, something she’d noticed over the past few days.
Her mom hadn’t been calling her every single day like she used to. Hadn’t been texting constantly asking where she was, what she was doing, if she needed anything.
Before, it used to be multiple calls a day. Morning check-ins, afternoon texts, evening calls before bed.
Sometimes it felt like... a lot.
Like her mom was always worried, always hovering, always needing to know everything.
But lately? Her mom had been quieter. Less clingy.
