Later that day, I give Sera a video call. Sheâs wearing reading glasses by the time she comes into view, dark shadows outlining her tired eyes, but at the sight of me, she brightens, her smile lighting her face up like a Christmas tree.
âYou know you donât have to keep working until you dig yourself into the ground, right?â I say. âOn second thought, you donât have to work at all.â
âItâs nice to see you too, Piper,â she says. âIâve missed you as much as youâve missed me.â
I scoff. âI havenât, okay? In fact, Iâm planning to move to Paris. Iâll spend the rest of my days filling my mouth with Tandaâs food.â
Sera laughs. âSheâs very good. We offered for her to relocate to Seattle, but she didnât want to. She grew up in Paris; the city is a part of her.â
âWell, Iâd turn down that offer, too,â I say. âIâm sure I donât exactly have to point this out, but Seattle doesnât have an Eiffel Tower.â
Sera chuckles. âI suppose youâre right.â
âHow are the children?â I ask.
âOnen is as fiery as ever. Many times, Iâve wondered if he isnât that way because of the coffee I had when I was pregnant with him. I envy him; if I had half of the energy he does, Iâd have conquered the world.â
âYou have,â I say, raising my hand, my thumb and index finger just an inch apart. âA small portion of it.â
âI suppose,â she says. âMo... â Her brows furrow and her eyes glisten. As I watch, she pulls out a handkerchief and dabs at the corners of her eyes with it. When she speaks, her voice falters a little.
âMo has been difficult,â she says. âI canât help but feel like my own daughter doesnât like me, and I hate feeling that way. Sometimes, itâs as if she doesnât need me, like she was born into this world a thirty-one-year-old who can take care of herself. Around Alan, though, sheâs different. They sit for hours and play chess and talk, and if you were eavesdropping, youâd think he was talking to someone that works for him.
Sheâs so smart for her age, and I can see that her questions test him. Itâs fun for the both of themâhe gets to mentor her, and she gets to spend time with her dad. And I suppose that I shouldnât stint them their father-daughter time. I had Mo for eight years before Alan came back into our lives, but now itâs like sheâs outgrown me and wants nothing to do with her mom anymore. I... I miss her.â
By the time Sera is done, sheâs sobbing, beads of tears streaking down her cheeks, tracing a salty path. Suddenly, the distance between us feels like a physical pain. If only I were in Seattle with her, I would have thrown my arms around her and promised her it was going to be okay.
Sera dries her eyes with the handkerchief. She sniffles, chuckling. âI needed that. It feels like years since I had a good cry.
