Enzo went silent when she revealed she’d heard the entire conversation on the phone. He sighed, leaning against the counter closest to him. “She contacted me months ago when I was drunk and stupidly decided to answer the phone. I’ve been giving her money since.” It felt as if an entire weight had been taken off of him, but it didn’t help any because no he was going to ask her to lie. “JC doesn’t know. And i need to do me a favor and not say anything. I know that I’m likely being bullshitted. But..she’s our mom.” Enzo was rarely serious as he was now, and the look on his face to Gemma had to show it. “Please.”
Gemma nodded, placing the spork back on the table, her appetite not as apparent any more as she took in what Enzo was saying. “Wouldn’t she understand though? I mean, it’s your mom. Of course you want to help her out, even with all the stuff you guys have been through with her. It doesn’t change the fact that she is your mom and you’re going to care about her. If you explained it to JC, I’m sure she would understand...” she argued, wondering if she was right or not. She didn’t have that sort of family drama, so she couldn’t say what she would do herself. She sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping. “I won’t tell her,” she finally mumbled, not wanting to hurt either of them. “But you have to tell her eventually. Secrets never stay secret for long.”
