Torunn looked up at her mom when she came to her. She had to look up at the woman, the height difference between them, quite a bit. With wide eyes, Torunn shook her head quickly back and forth, still not believing what her mom was saying. It was bull. She could feel the woman rubbing her arms, trying to comfort her, but all it did was make her want to pull away. 

Then, her head shaking slowed until her head was still, and she was looking into her mother's eyes. She lost focus for a moment, but didn't really realize she had. Her panic slowly subsided and she felt herself at peace. A small smile spread across her lips and she started nodding, slowly. "Just moisture." She repeated after her mother. 

She heard her mom tell her to get rest, and seconds later, she was released from the hypnosis. Torunn took a deep breath and looked down, then looked back up at her mom. Her smile widened a bit. No longer was she worried that something was wrong with her. That she was the one that had caused the bulbs to break. Torunn really believed that it truly was the moisture and humidity. 

"Yeah... yeah I'll do that." She finally replied after a moment of comfortable silence. Torunn looked around and saw the shattered glass everywhere, and gasped. "Oh, here, let me clean this up first." She said quickly as she fetched the broom and dustpan. The task only took her moments, and before she knew it, she was dumping the glas shards into the trash. She replaced the broom and dustpan and went to her mom. Torunn wrapped her arms around the woman, hugging her tight. 

She missed this too. Her mom's hugs were always so warm and comforting. Pulling away from her, Torunn smiled up at her and made her way to her old bedroom. She would take a short nap, and then be on her way.
