“Mom?” My daughter called to me from the front of the house where I’d just heard the door open and close. “I’m in the kitchen,” I called back. Slowly, I poured my homemade kombucha into a swing-top glass bottle using a funnel. I kept the drinks in a small refrigerator at Simply Well, my herbal store and wellness center. I usually sold out every week, and regular customers often asked me to make more. Maybe one day I would, but for now, small batches were enough to keep me busy, adding a few extra dollars to my bottom line. Blossom walked in as I poured the last drop of golden liquid and closed the swing top. “How was your date?” I asked. She appeared in front of me, a curious smile on her face. Her skin was a couple of shades lighter than mine, and her natural curls were cut low on her oval face, giving her a modern, self-assured look. She seemed happy, but also like someone holding onto a juicy secret. “Must have been good,” I remarked, tugging off my gloves. “I’m getting married!” she blurted. Huh? Stunned, I stared at her. “M-married? To who?” “Manuel, Mom! Who do you think? The guy I’ve been dating.” Blossom and I had a good relationship and told each other everything. After her father and I divorced when she was in middle school, we became closer. I knew all about her struggles with puberty, her crushes—including the one on her science teacher in tenth grade that thankfully only lasted a few months before she moved on to a boy her own age. I distinctly remember our candid conversations about sex and being safe, and when she was ready, I took her to the doctor for birth control. She never hid bad grades from me, and I knew about her serious boyfriends. All two of them.
