Laura stared at Michael and quickly looked down at her M&M. It made her sad that Michael's mom had been abused. Domestic violence was not a light issue. . She and her son had lived in a homeless shelter because of an abusive husband, after all. She had grabbed a red M&M, "My favorite hobby is probably role playing or playing chess, which I'm not too good at--but I'm getting better," she blushed, making a whispered, sheepish laugh.

"my husband loves to play chess. Unfortantly I can't remember the rules. My mind is like swizz cheese. A lot of thigs fall through the holes never to be seen again." Sue joked.

Michael smiled and said "I like to play chess. I'm not the greatest but I used to play with my uncle a lot. He said it was a good game to learn and to be able to understand strategy." Micheal looked around and listened to see what everyone else were sharing. He couldn't believe he opened up like that. It was never easy for him to share his past.
