I was still in thought when a knock on the door pulled me out of my imaginations. I opened the door, but what i saw wasn't what i was expecting. Grace and another woman was standing at the door step giving me weird glances. I let them in leading them to Gabriel's direction. I pointed towards the sofa for them to sit. Silence... a sharp and slicing silence engulfs us, making the air around us too expensive to absorb. The tension between mother and son, can be felt from twenty miles away... in fact, the tension between them is putting me in an awkward situation. They continue staring at each other in silence, as if they're in a staring contest...none of them ready to look away or ready to say anything. Gabriel and I sat on the only loveseat in the living room, Gabriel's arm securely
