Kate
Hey, Lily, can we talk? I found something odd.
Lily
Um, sure Mom. What's up?
Kate
I was cleaning your room and found some letters.
Lily
Letters? What do you mean?
Kate
They were hidden under your bed. From someone named Alex?
Lily
Oh... those.
Kate
Who is Alex, Lily? And why are you hiding letters?

Lily
Alex is just a friend, Mom. It's nothing.
Kate
These letters don't seem like nothing. They sound serious.
Lily
I didn't want you to worry. It's complicated.
Kate
I need to know who you're involved with. It feels like betrayal.
Lily
Mom, it's not what you think. Alex just listens to me.
Kate
Why not talk to me? I'm your mother.
Lily
I didn't want to upset you. I thought you'd judge me.
Kate
I might not agree with everything, but I'm here to help.
Lily
I know. It's just... Alex understands me differently.
Kate
Differently how? This feels like a betrayal.
Lily
Alex is... not just a friend. We were planning to tell you.

Kate
Please, just be honest with me from now on.
Lily
I will. I'm really sorry, Mom.
Kate
I just want you safe and happy. Is Alex someone I should meet?
Lily
Yes, definitely. I think you'll like them.
Kate
Alright. Bring Alex over this weekend?
Lily
Okay, I'll let Alex know. Thanks for understanding.
Kate
Always. But no more secrets, okay?
Lily
Okay, no more secrets. Promise.
Kate
I love you, Lily.
Lily
Love you too, Mom.

Kate
We're in this together, remember that.
Lily
I will. Thanks for being here for me.
Kate
Always. Now go text Alex, I bet they're worried.
Lily
Haha, you're right. I'll do that. Talk later?
Kate
Yes, anytime. ❤️
