The Counterfeit Mate
"Yes, I am, Mom. Never better."
Just then, Penny Patton shuffles over, her husband John holding her fondly from behind. Both of them are laughing, radiating a happy energy. Penny beams at my mother.
She says, "Luna Bessie, thanks for letting us have a chance in your family as the new Luna."
My mother gives her a stiff, half hearted smile. "Oh, you're welcome, Penny. I simply can't wait to see your daughter become the next true Luna."
I frown a little. Next ‘true’ Luna? What the hell has gotten into my mother tonight? She's being cryptic, casting dark shadows over what should be the best night of my life.
