Further conversations with Mum on the Caines

(occurs after this The boys talk the truth with Mum )

His tea had grown cold as Mum had talked. Using the time to toss the remainder and pour a fresh cup to regain some composure, Dominic finally sat back down. The scrap of the spoon mixing sugar into the fresh tea began to grate yet nervously he found that he couldn't stop. Mum's hand on his own forced the decision.

Renee, you have such a beautiful voice for Dom and his Mum.. They are wonderful together.

And Mum is so real feeling - this is so good.. And I like that she doesn't make excuses for Caine - or for their relationship.. it just was..

Thanks sweetie!

I do like them too. She's not just his friend, she is his mother first, yet they trust each other totally.

And yeh, she never wanted to pretend that she hadn't loved Caine -- she may regret those choices but she won't pretend that she was coerced or taken advantage of. I have no idea how she'll react if she ever sees him again, might be interesting....

I love finding out about Juliet and Dom's backstory. I know I've said it before, but you're bringing chunks of it into the game so organically it comes across very smooth. I don't get the sense of the author saying, "OK, now I'm going to fill you in on how Juliet and Michael got together." It's all very natural and it's a good story in its own right.
