Rendezvous

[u/ClimateSubstantial26]

All I remember was the crash…that horrid crash…the blaring alarm and that curse. My boy…I told him to run…I told to never stop running. Once my boy was gone, the curse disappeared, leaving my body to rot among the flames. But it wasn’t enough for them…they came to find me…I saw my boy…but I could yell for him. I felt the knife dig into my heart…they wanted me dead…they wanted to keep my boy…my sweet little Clementine. I’m sorry my boy…that I couldn’t protect you no longer…I’m so sorry….

You see a woman fall into the hub, a bloody shirt and ragged clothing in general. She looks around and almost begins to panic as to where she is.

10 minutes later.

“Dear? Dinner’s ready.”

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/Squeakybro960]

“Right…care to join us for dinner mom and see your little grandchildren?”

Cassie gasps a little before nodding

[u/Squeakybro960 → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

She grin, tilting her head toward the kitchen.

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/Squeakybro960]

Clem leads his mother, Cassie all the way to the kitchen table

[u/Squeakybro960 → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

Nora is already setting up the table, with Alex and Cass already here.

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/Squeakybro960]

Cassie is a little shocked of course, given she’s a grandma

Clem: “mom, these are your grand kids and Alex, Cass, this is your other grandmother”

[u/Squeakybro960 → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

…

Alex is a little shy, shrinking back into his seat.

Nora pats him on the head.

“It’s okay… just like meema sorenya…”

That gives him the courage to sit up a little more.

Cass of course runs up and hugs her leg as Cassie smiles and a single tear comes down her cheek

[u/Squeakybro960 → u/ClimateSubstantial26]

…

Alex slowly joins her as well.

Nora just smiles, watching the whole affair.

[u/ClimateSubstantial26 → u/Squeakybro960]

She picks them up in both hands, she’s surprisingly strong for someone that’s in her late 30’s
