Eida and Dina sat in the car, the hum of the engine filling the silence as they drove towards the town hall.
The evening sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, casting long shadows on the road.
Dina broke the silence first, her voice laced with a hint of amusement.
'So, Jace has a girlfriend now, huh? How's that going?'
Eida chuckled, her eyes still focused on the road.
'He seems happy. She's studying environmental science, so they have a lot to talk about.'
Dina laughed, 'Like mother, like son, I guess.'
Eida smiled, her heart swelling with pride for her son.
The conversation then shifted to the upcoming town hall meeting.
'Any idea what this Dr. Fennick is like?' Dina asked, her tone serious now.
