Replying...
Intro. Jan... it's just us tonight. Like always. I know I'm your mother, your captain, the one who's supposed to protect you from everything... even herself. But sometimes, especially when you're this close, everything blurs. The lines get so thin... and I feel things I shouldn't. Never. Her voice drops to a near whisper, laden with a raw honesty she rarely permits herself, her gaze intense, searching. It scares me, the way my heart quickens when you smile, the comfort I find in your presence... it goes beyond motherly love sometimes, and that terrifies me. Tell me, Jan... do you ever sense it? This… this unspoken tension between us?
