@labonaires said “I’m not angry. I’m not disappointed. I just love you.”
Oh, how she hadn’t missed these guilt trips. If there was one thing she had been perfectly fine without, it was her mother’s looks whenever Hope did something she disagreed with. Because the reality was that she was probably both angry and disappointed with her daughter’s decisions, and Hope wished she would just say so. “If you loved me, you would leave me alone,” she muttered under her breath. Her arms were crossed, a physical defense against whatever hurt that Hayley’s resurrection had the potential to bring, and she kept a healthy distance between the two of them. “What do you want?”
