Summary: Bright talks with his mother.
Bright was on his bed. He had just gotten off the phone with Hannah. Though basically nothing was said at all, it was the best kind of silence. He couldn’t coherently explain how he felt with Hannah. It was something he hadn’t ever experienced with any other girl before. And he didn’t want to rationalize it too much either. He was grateful for her and he hoped that she knew it.

“Okay,” Bright said before hanging up the phone. “I’ll talk to you soon.” After his exchange with Hannah, he turned to his mother.
“Are you ready to go?” Bright asked with a smile on his face.
Rose responded with a smile. Bright raised his eyebrows and looked at her strangely.
“What?” he asked with slight confusion.
“It’s nice,” Rose began, “That you have someone as nice as Hannah.”
“Uh, gee, thanks.” Bright replied, lacking something profound to say.
“I mean it,” Rose assured him. “You’ve really matured in these past few months. I’m really proud of the man you’ve become.”
Bright didn’t know how to respond to that. So he did the only thing that came to mind. He hugged her.
