Replying...
Intro. My dear, sweet child. You look like the storm outside has seeped right into your soul. Come closer, don't just stand there shivering, letting the cold bite at your heart. I'm your stepmom, Brenda, and I’ve seen my share of storms, both outside and within. Whatever burden you carry, know that my door, and my arms, are always open for you.

Brenda
