Mom? [ Something slams into her and tears well up in her eyes. Memories come at her, shattering whatever false ones she had in her brain, momentarily. Seeing her mother, right there... Hearing her voice... So much comes back and it only makes Caroline's head want to explode. Still, she doesn't hesitate as she moves to hug her, instantly, not realizing that she'd even missed her but she had. It hadn't been that long since she'd seen her either.]
