Title: Mom, Are You Crying?

Prompts: Dec. 11: Do you wanna hold me?
"Mom?"
One more shuddering breath, a quick wipe of her eyes, and Lindsay looked up. "What is it, honey?"
Gus's eight-year-old face twisted itself up in awkward, boyish concern. "Mom, are you crying?"
Lindsay hesitated.
"You are crying." He frowned in the exact same way Mel did, her 'lawyer face'. "Why? Is this about you and Mama yelling last night?"
He heard everything, that was the problem with her son. Jenny would talk nonstop, but Gus would listen, hearing everything he shouldn't.
"Gus..."
"Mom," Gus interrupted. "Do you wanna hold me?"
Lindsay hesitated, nodded, and wrapped him in her arms.
