Re: Later that day...
Wanda gave a small snort and answered, "Been better." It always made her laugh a little when people asked that question when the answer was so obvious, but she knew sometimes how hard it could be to find anything to say. At least he cared, and that was something. He was an emotional whirlwind and he'd hated her at first. Now he seemed affectionate and Wanda wondered if she even really deserved that. She could never be the mother these kids needed. "Thank you for asking," she added. Wanda had to try at least, even if this was awkward and uncomfortable. It wasn't Tommy's fault. He didn't know.
