"Mom… why would you bring me something like this?" Anna's voice pitched higher, freaked by her mother's absurd behavior. She darted her eyes around nervously before shoving the small bottle back into Roseline's hand.
"Oho! Why give it back?" Roseline clutched it protectively, furrowing her brows. "I brought it for you, Anna. So you and your husband can enjoy an adventurous marital life and soon enough, welcome me a grandchild."
Anna's stomach dropped. Heat flushed her face as she grabbed her mother's arm and all but dragged her upstairs.
From the corner of the hallway, Kira peeked, her sharp eyes flickering knowingly as she watched them disappear.
Thud! Anna slammed her bedroom door shut and turned on her mother, exasperation bubbling over.
"Mom, you cannot keep talking like this! And what's with that potion? Who even gave you the idea to bring something like that to me?" Anna's tone cracked between frustration and disbelief.
