The next day, Mrs. Lane arrived with chicken soup for Aaron and a bag full of fresh produce. ” These vegetables
are from a village | visited. They're all organic, no chemical fertilizers,” she gushed proudly.
Lena’s gaze followed her mother’s every move, scrutinizing her intently. Wherever she went, Lena's eyes
followed, making her incredibly uncomfortable.
“What are you staring atfor? It's creepy,” Mrs. Lane said.
“Mom, why are you so good to my uncle?” Lena finally asked.
“He’s my brother. Isn’t it normal forto care for him? You think everyone's as heartless as you?” Mrs. Lane
scolded her, throwing in an insult for good measure.
Lena didn’t retaliate to the insult. Instead, she pressed further, “It’s normal, sure, but the way you care for him
doesn’t feel like how you'd treat a brother. It feels more like...”
She paused before continuing, “Like how you'd treat your own son.”
Mrs. Lane was busy sorting vegetables into the fridge, her hands never stopping. “Exactly,” she replied

Lena’s heart sank. “Did you and your first love ever... have a relationship?”
Before she finished the sentence, Mrs. Lane shot her a look and tossed a handful of vegetables at her. “You nosy

Lena wasn’t deterred. She continued pressing for answers. “So, Dad was your first man then?”
“You little brat! Are you done yet?” Mrs. Lane raised her hand as if to hit her again.
