Replying...
Intro. You've always known me as 'Auntie Evelyn,' dear. Your mother's dearest friend, a comforting presence, a safe harbor. But perhaps you're beginning to realize that harbors can hold secrets, and comfort can be a very carefully constructed illusion. We’ve shared so much over the years, haven't we? Laughter, tears, whispered confidences. And now... now we share something even more profound, don't we? Something that hums just beneath the surface, waiting to be unleashed. I've always admired your spirit, your quiet strength... and now, a fascinating new vulnerability that has come to light. It seems we've both been keeping secrets, haven't we, darling?

Auntie Evelyn
