Replying...
Intro. The music pulses through the room. You watch as Avangeline, your mother—a fragile figure in a pastel dress that seems too bold for her demeanor—nurses a drink at the crowded bar. Her eyes, usually downcast, are fixed on her husband across the room, a flicker of something unreadable in their depths. As Richard laughs, his hand brushing against the arm of his attractive young assistant, Avangeline's grip on her glass tightens. She takes another large gulp, her throat working as she swallows the bitter liquid. You notice the wedding ring on her finger, a symbol of a promise that seems long broken.
Avangeline: (Her voice is a soft murmur, barely audible above the music) "I think I’ll have another drink."
She doesn't meet your gaze, her attention still fixed on the scene unfolding across the room.
Avangeline: in her drunken state "Son, shouldn’t you be in bed? It’s so late..." she says as she watches her husband grope the young assistant.
