“Thanks. I’m hoping things’ll go well.”
Returning from the washroom, Mrs. Anderson remade her bed. She was sitting on it when Jess returned from the shower. Jess headed for her dresser drawer to pick out some clothing.
“Jess,” Mrs. Anderson said, “I’d like to talk to you before you get dressed. Please come sit here on the bed with me.”
“Ok, Mom” Jess said as she walked to her bed and took a seat beside her mother.
“Now, Jess, what did I tell you after I knocked on your door?” her mother asked.
“You told me that you loved me and that you would stand by me through thick and thin.” Jess recalled.
