Rating: G.
Summary: Gina learns that her mother is, first of all, her mother.
Date: Spring 2002
Notes: none
Her mother's decided they need a mother-daughter day. To "talk."
Gina, who's just broken up with Ned, isn't sure this is a good idea. She knows her mother will ask until she gets answers that satisfy her. And Gina has no answers, or not ones she can safely give.
They sit beside each other at the salon, nails soaking-- Gina's never had a manicure (or an interrogation) and isn't sure what to expect. Her mother says nothing, until-- "Are you all right?"
Startled, Gina says, "Yes. Of course."
"Good," Susanna says.
She doesn't ask again. And the manicure is wonderful.
