My Only Mother

Francesca didn't think she'd end up running into her sister again. And that too, the very next day. She had just stepped out to get her favorite bubble tea from the nearest cafe and ended up bumping into the person she didn't wish to see at all.

And before she could turn and leave, Florence had already held her hand to stop her. "Can't we just sit down and talk?"

"Do we have to?" retorted Francesca.

"Just for five minutes," pleaded Florence. "I won't take long."

Francesca hesitated a little but seeing how everyone around them looked in their direction, she ended up sighing and sat down with her. 

As they both sat facing each other, Florence's eyes didn't leave Francesca even for a second while Francesca refused to even look at her. Although she had come to buy bubble tea, she ended up ordering black coffee instead. She needed something bitter to swallow this situation down.

"I remember you used to love Latte," commented Florence.
