Here it is:)
Cami, however, remained wordless, instead giving her artificially cheerful sister a murderous look. Not to be overlooked, the mother observed this expression of displeasure, which, however, when her daughter turned to her, turned into a smile. Wordlessly and far too relieved to see that smile, albeit a half-smile, the mother then took her daughter in her arms.
They lingered in this posture for a brief moment, until they both let out a relieved laugh, while Cecilia immediately refrained from wanting to take any credit for herself, even though it had been she who had urged going to her mother's house.
"So there you are," said the mother, turning towards the kitchen. "Let's have some tea. I still have some baked crepe cakes from yesterday for you."
While the daughters said, "Absolutely, we love your crepes," and sat down, and the mother handled the counter, Cecilia found the card game in the table drawer that they had often enjoyed playing together. "Round?" she asked Cami, who was all too happy to do anything but talk about what had happened. The mother's heart was lifted when she saw her daughters playing together, just like old times. Already they were engrossed in the game and Cami shouted, "No, no nine! Oh please, just no nine!"
Questions burned on her tongue, but she held herself in check. "It will all be told little by little," she said to herself and knew immediately that she would be right. If she wanted the daughters to want her in their lives, this was now the best opportunity to prove herself worthy.
"Trust..." she murmured to herself. "Have confidence. The hardest of all parental letting go, sending children off into an uncertain future, could only be rewarded by letting them go and experience their follies for themselves. Although she had been almost certain that this episode in Cami's life would not have been permanent, a residue of uncertainty had remained. This residue had managed to make her tired and hesitant. "Even a fool!" she scolded herself then, already reconciled with herself by this moment of clarity.
Taking tea and sweets, she sat down with her daughters and asked, "Still room for a third player?"
Later, as Cecilia and Cami were back in the car and looked at each other, they simultaneously shouted, "What the!" Cami exclaimed, "I expected anything but that!" "Yeah, right? I can't believe she stayed so cool! It's a wonder she didn't give you a telling off the way you acted!" guffawed Cecilia and Cami was now roaring with laughter and shrieking, "Oh, what a silly little girl I was!" and she shook herself until her breath ran out. "We should visit her more often and share our lives, shouldn't we?" There was agreement on this there in the car and then they drove off, the music turned up to full blast.
At the window stood their mother, with an expression in her eyes and in her heart.
