Inside Lucy's office, she stared at her phone for a moment as she tried to make up her mind whether or not she should speak with her mother.
Every attempt to focus on work was futile because her thoughts kept drifting to her mother, and she knew that her mother wouldn't be completely okay until things were resolved between them.
Although she still wasn't over what her mother had said, what Desmond had said made sense to her. Her mother was only human and she was still trying to figure out parenting. If Sonia had been the one who threw a word like that at her in the middle of an argument, she would have been upset, but she would have forgiven Sonia. Her mother deserved that much.
It was time she related with her family as she related with everyone else. Maybe if she expressed her genuine emotions with them for once, then they would all stop tiptoeing around each other and be more expressive.
