Jae-Mi winced slightly at the mention of her mother. She could only imagine how she had treated Dan. "I'm sincerely sorry about my mother. She's only acting in my best interest. She's very stuck in her ways," she said as she took a seat on the edge of the couch. "That was one of the reasons I moved here. I guess that didn't work out as well as I'd hoped."
She smiled wryly as she pushed her hair back from her face. "Hopefully, we can work something out and keep her out of our hair."
