     “Hey, hey. Chill, alright?” she laughs. “It’s not that big of a deal.”

“--And I was like, dude, like, no.”

Johanna had spent the entire morning just pacing, normally she would be out in the woods by now but Aspen has asked to talk to her earlier this morning. That usually only meant one thing. Johanna had narrowly avoided having to answer whenever he had brought it up before in the past but she had a feeling this time it was different. He was older now, she couldn’t put it off forever... although how is she meant to give him the answers she doesn’t have. Answers she knew he desperately craved.  Quickly downing the last of the golden liquid in her glass Jo placed the glass on the side and began her assent of the stairs to aspens room, finally feeling that she had the courage to face him. She gave a gentle knock on the door before trying the handle and pushing gently on the door. 

                        ‘ You wanted to talk to me?’ 

“No no, I won’t I swear.” He holds his hands up in complete surrender to his mother. “No!I get it it’s okay— I fucked up and I have to deal with that.”

                              ‘ I said it’s fine Aspen.’ 

Johanna huffed turning her back to him and taking a seat in the nearest chair. Even after all these years she still berated herself for her weakness against water... even now it made her feel weak.
