Her hair was an unfamiliar shade of red. Her prada shades hid her eyes; and feeling immediate shame over not remembering the color of her eyes, he quickly regained focus on the shock of finally seeing his mother for the first time in 10 years.
"Connor," she began, "you look amazing! have you been hitting the gym with all of the...free time you have?" his mother teased.
She hasnt changed a bit. "actually, yeah, I have.." he started, "you havent aged a bit. how is that even possible?" Connor asked unable to hide his curiosity.
"sweetie, women have this thing called makeup and hair dye." his mother answered
"..but to answer your aging question," she continue, "its because I havent. science has come a long way."
The more she spoke, the more questions Connor had. Despite his growing curiosity, he was able to muster up "mom, i have f*cking missed you. can we head home now? Ill carry your luggage" he said as he reached over to grab her suitcase full of stickers, making it look like a teenagers suitcase rather it belonging to a 40-something mother.
"thanks kid..I wont let you ask twice." his mother said softly, surrendering her suitcase.
"lets head home. its been..a while, I suppose."
