The next day saw Rende with some actual down time. It wasn’t a day off, but she only had a couple of meetings and then a comm back to command to update their progress. And so she found herself on the couch, searching a PaDD for her favorite secret indulgence. She had taken Tabris’ pictures and placed them in different areas of their quarters. Rather than a shrine on a shelf he was everywhere. She wasn’t sure what to say, so she found herself talking about what she was doing. “Okay so it’s not SO secret. Dad knows about this, but he’s got a duty shift and isn’t around to tease me about it. I used to sneak into the den alone to watch these, until one day, oh you must have been 9, came in to ask me about paint for a gift and you were enthralled. You sat down and watched all day with me. It became a tradition. What do you think…OH! This was our favorite, Holly and Ivy (credit to Hallmark Movies). You just really loved the idea of all those people making life better for others.” The picture next to the couch was of Tabris and Eldorin. Tabris was an adult standing outside his apartment building. It had been falling down, damaged, it should have been condemned. Rende and Eldorin had money, even then, and had one of their companies, that they owned quietly, no one knew, financially back the project, buy the building and put new management in place. Tabris had been so incensed that the previous owner wouldn’t take care of it that he had decided to do it himself. That was the day they had helped all the tenants move back into their homes. “You always wanted to help others no matter how big or small the problem.”

Okay so maybe she was going overboard, she had popcorn and bowl in front of the picture, and a citrus soda. The picture didn’t need popcorn. “I can steal from yours, you don’t mind, and even if you do you’re not eating anyway.” She laughed at her own silliness, dimmed the lights, and watched. “I used to tease your dad that these movies were why you were so good with the girls. You were always kind, but you had a knack for being truly charming and roguish. But really you just took after your dad. I loved taking you on digs with me, but it was with your dad and the work you did together really brought out your passion.” She glanced at the screen, “Like that right there. You and your dad would have brought a whole crew to fix a house in one day so a family could stay together.”
Rende, mom
