"On New Year's Eve we went to a fancy restaurant because mom'd had a rough couple weeks."
"A patient at her psychiatry practice was constantly on her mind."
"I'd had no idea, but Naomi said I should ask her about it. She and my mom talked a lot."
"When I brought it up, mom just said it was nothing, that everything's fine."
"I believed her."
My theory with mom is that she has fallen in love with this patient

mo "Um...everything's--"

na "What [name] is {i}trying{/i} to say, Helen, is that we should enjoy dinner and not jump to conclusions."
mc "What? That's not what I--"
mo "It's okay, honey. I know you two mean well."

mo "Listen dear, I appreciate what you're trying to say."
mo "But I'm fine. And Naomi's right, we should enjoy dinner."
