"Oh, come on. You know I've always been focused in work." Eleanor had not come from luxury like Derek did, she had studied and worked hard her whole life, just like Alfred did. It was another reason why her old flame had always understood her better than her husband did.
Bantering aside, something else caught her attention. "I'm sorry, a boyfriend?"
Kate rarely shared her own love life with her mother, most of her relationships something she shared casually whenever she came back home from campus. Eleanor was glad for these news, she realized. At least her daughter wasn't alone with her thoughts these holidays. She had Alfred, Bruce and whoever this boy was. "Tell me he is good to her."
She's not shocked to hear Kate is angry, that as much is obvious. In all honesty, she had every reason to feel disappointed. "Did you tell Kate you were coming?" Eleanor asked, putting down the tea pot.
