“Just like Mom,” I said, smiling.
“Yeah,” she agreed, a small smile forming.
“I know you couldn’t help because it was too painful for you to see her like that. Mom knew it too, which is why she always talked about you. She loved you more. That’s why I always felt like I was in your shadow,” I admitted.
Phoebe laughed softly. “Looks like Mom should’ve taken parenting lessons before having kids.”
I laughed with her.
“So, what will you do?” she asked after a pause.
“Leave Dan, give you money for your flower shop, and take that job abroad,” I said.
“Katherine,” Phoebe said, making me look at her.
“Yes?” I asked.
“I’ll be fine. And so will you,” she said.
“Yeah, I know,” I replied, pulling her into a tight hug.
