Imogene always wanted her freedom from her mother, and now she has it.

Mother Dearest, I am still trying to sift through the events of last night. It all feels very surreal. When I woke up this morning, I hoped it was a dream. I'd even accept it as a nightmare. But it's not. I'm not with you and that alone feels catastrophic. I can't believe we had our first fight!

But the tendrils connecting a mother to her daughter will always run deep.

Freedom is a funny thing. It's something I wanted so badly, but now I'm wondering if what I had with you was better? Is the price of all of this going to be worth it? Do you miss me yet? What you said was hurtful, but I know I deserved it. I'm still processing my departure, it was rather sudden. I hope you know I haven't been planning this. It just happened.

Imogene doesn't know how to handle her mother's estrangement. But then she meets the perfect man, the one even her mother would approve of. She just knows that once they get married, her mother will welcome her back with open arms. Except he has a wife and daughter.

As mother always said, a problem is only a problem until you solve it.
