'Her name was Alessa..' she started out, thinking about her mother's face with a thoughtful smile. Taking a second, she organized everything she wanted to tell him and then looked at Tommy with a sense of excitement. No one had ever asked her to talk about her mother before.
'She was amazing, but so strong minded and quiet. You could look her in the eye and never know what she was feeling. While growing up, that really pissed me off. I guess after awhile I just kept egging her on, waiting for her to blow like she had seen me do so many times before. Funny thing is, she never did. Oh but when I blew? She waited for me to calm down and then make me sit with her and talk it out over ice cream or a big ass plate of pasta.' she chuckled.
'That was what I loved so much about her though. She had this life long wish that I would be strong like her and I didn't believe I could until after she died. Smart. Beautiful. Logical. Brave. And she made the most kickass spaghetti one would ever taste.' she left her eyes fixed on his and smiled radiantly.
