"Forty years?"
"I was going to say, the past few weeks."
Amanda sighed. "Come on, Mom. It's been a lot more than the past few weeks."
Rachel reminisced, "We were so close when you were a little girl."
"You mean before I developed a mind and opinions of my own."
"Let's be honest here. We haven't been close since... Carl."
Rachel stiffened. "I thought we'd worked through all that."
"If by worked through you mean I learned to suck it up and you pretended not to notice, then, yes, I guess we have."
"I didn't realize you felt that way."
"You didn't want to realize it. Just like you didn't want to realize that you've moved Lila Hart in as you new and improved daughter."
