The unexpected arrival of some of Eleanor's family had spent her Parents Weekend into a little bit of a whirlwind, and while, underneath all the chaos it created inside of her, that was a part of her that was oddly grateful for it. That Luma had wanted to come, even if it was mostly to give her a hard time or to just remind her how much Rhys depended on her, and that her mother had wanted to come, too, even thought it would be difficult for her and she'd be spending most of the time in a hotel room. She didn't invite them because she figured it would have been pointless, but it turned out they'd come anyway, and that meant...
Something. She wasn't sure quite what yet, but it meant something, and she'd figure it out once it was all over. For now, she was mostly just trying to focus on having this next part go over well. She led Kamala down the hallway to her family's room at the hotel, but she paused at the door before opening to turn to her and regard her with all the nervousness and gratitude she felt roiling around inside of her.
"Thank you," she said, "for doing this. I know you're going to say that of course you would, why wouldn't you, especially since I've met your parents, but..." She shook her head lightly. "Just...thank you. It's really going to mean a lot to her. It means a lot to me."
She gave Kamala her best attempt at a confident smile, a pale imitation of whatever Kamala herself probably would have been able to wrangle up.
"Ready?"
