Shantreyl knocked on the door of one of the Vermilion’s Presidential Suites, yawning and rubbing her lower back. She was tired and left work as soon as her last class was done. Earlier, she received a text from her mother informing her that they had arrived and Shantreyl was excited to see her parents. She hadn’t been home in three years.
A moment later, Shannon Troy opened the door and screamed when she saw her youngest daughter. She held out her arms. Shantreyl grabbed and held her mother tight, feeling warmth flow over and through her the way it always did when her mother hugged her. Her eyes got misty because it had been a long time since the last maternal hug. “I’m so glad to see you, Momma. I’ve missed you so much.”
