After getting off of the phone, Ailura heads into the kitchen to make her some food. Kye later arrives with Mason. As soon as he steps into the house she notices that Kye has brought along Mason and she quickly looks away. They greet each other but only briefly before she heads back to cooking. He urges her to go speak to Mason and after a while she does. It’s almost like she’s talking to an alien. She’s struggling to find the right words, she’s speaking in baby language even though he’s almost 4, and she looks scared. He notices this and picks Mason up. She tries to tell him that she can’t connect with him and it’s like he’s tuning that out. As Kye is mid-sentence, she walks away to go grab her purse and head out to town.
Kye: Wait- what are you doing? You can’t just walk away, I’m still talking to you.
Ailura: I already told you I was heading out in a few.
Kye: Why can’t you just treat him like you treat Liv? he blurted out abruptly.
Ailura stops, turns around and walks slowly over to him.
Ailura: You do realize that out of all people YOU play the biggest role in this right? When that social worker came to drop him off, I was so excited to see him. You were always carrying him and always babying him. Everytime I wanted to see him he was either “napping” or “feeding.” It’s like you wanted us to have no type of connection whatsoever. Why couldn’t YOU let me do my job as a parent?....exactly silence.
She walks out of the house and leaves with Anna.
