EXTRACT
-Watch your words, Lawrence. Just because you're fifty-five doesn't mean I'll allow you to use that caustic tone when you speak about me. I'm still your mother, the one who carried you in my womb. Without me, you would be nothing. And I remind you that that backwater, as you like to call it, is the land I come from. I would never have left it if your father hadn't gone there on vacation before meeting me and asking me to marry him. You should be proud of Beaufort. And if your daughter decides to live there for a while, you have no right to prevent her. Livia will live in the beautiful home I once shared with my parents in Old Point, in the historic district. Today, it's Scarlett, my late sister's granddaughter, who occupies it alone. It will be a chance for these two young cousins to get to know each other... and about time!
