After answering Mark, I quickly got a message back, seems he has been waiting for my response, which only made me feel worse... Ugh, I am really ghosting him sometimes without realizing.
-----
[Mark]: [Got it. I have a lot of souvenirs for your parents, I'll bring them as well. I've got a car myself too so I'll come with it and tail your daughter's friend car.]
[Elayne]: [Okay Mark! Thank you for being so patient with me...]
[Mark]: [Don't worry about it.]
-----
He's so considerate...
Ah, wait, why am I getting all red by thinking about him?
Ugh... Now that I recall, I think I did said some pretty bold things in the heat of battle last night.
Such as that... I-I love... loved him.
He didn't heard that, right? I think I said that before I helped him recover.
I... still have to sort that out too.
I kind of... yeah, I do have feelings for him. Let's admit that.
I've always felt so guilty about my husband's passing that I never thought about love for years.
Now that I feel like I am finally getting better... Is this really okay?
Ugh, maybe I need to chat this with Rita and maybe Lily, they're my two female friends.
And does Mark likes me back?
I wonder... Would he be okay with an older woman?
Maybe I need to get prettier for him!
Ah, wait, what am I thinking, trying to seduce a young man!
Ugh... But... might... might as well, right?
Ahhh...
"M-Mom?"
Elena noticed how I was getting all red and embarrassed while checking on my phone.
"E-Eh? Ah, what is it, dear?"
"You're all red..."
"A-Ah! It's... nothing."
"Huh..."
I do wonder what my daughter thinks of him... I do remember she disliked him.
"S-So... What do you think of Mark, Elena?" I asked her, as she felt slightly surprised.
She looked at me angrily, but then calmed down.
"I guess... he's okay." She said, looking elsewhere.
"Eh? But... I thought you disliked him?" I asked.
"Hmmm... I didn't really disliked him, I was just being... kinda dumb." She sighed. "But he's... a pretty alright guy. He seems down to earth. As long... as you're happy mom."
"D-Dear..."
"I... I've been thinking for a while, you don't need to feel alone anymore, and you don't have to... keep faulting yourself for what happened. I want... you to be happier. So if that guy... can make you happy..." Elena muttered. "I think that's alright."
"Uwaah! Elenaaaa!" I jumped over her and hugged her tightly. "You don't have to worry so much about your mom! Hehehe. I was just asking something!"
"Y-You're awfully touchy today mom..." She complained but didn't fought back my hugs.
I never thought having my daughter's approval would make me feel so happy.
But maybe I am jumping into conclusions too fast, I better... take this slowly.
And anyways, the other messages...

[Rita]: [Hey girl! How's it going?! I'm going to make a group chat for us guys that know the truth! I wonder if it's possible to use magic in this world too?! Can I become a witch now? I've been trying for a while but nothing works! Maybe we need to research dark spells! Anyways hop on the group chat. I invited your boyfriend and Lily.]
[Elayne]: [Mark's not my boyfriend! ...And also, are you coming to my parent's house?]
[Rita]: [Hell yeah I am! I am waiting here in my house. Already told my kids and my husband and they're alright with me being out a few days. They even said it would "bring them much needed peace"! Those damn brats... So anyways, come pick me up! We can talk about the other world stuff later.]
[Elayne]: [Okay, I'll go once I regroup with everyone.]
-----
She's... still the same as always. I guess even learning about paranormal things being real won't change how she is.
-----
[Lily]: [Hello Elayne, I hope you're alright... A lot happened... I hope we can get the time to discuss everything with everyone else. Ah, your friend invited me to a group to talk about this stuff. For now I am feeling like resting for a couple of days though. Have a good time in the countryside though! 😊]
[Elayne]: [Thank you Lily! Please take care too! Let's meet up once I'm back.]
[Lily]: [Sure thing, take care. 😊]
-----
Lily's so polite in comparison to Rita... She's really a cinnamon roll.
And then... the group chat.
-----
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
