02. Crocodile Tears
If there was something Jamie hated about the 'Jamie T. Kirk leaves Earth indefinitely' parting ceremony, it had been the amount of the crocodile tears her mother had spilt during it.
Her mother.
The woman who barely looked at her as she grew up, who almost never touched her, leaving her starved for human touch and affection that even her brother, who was quickly growing into his 'don't touch me, it's embarrassing' stage would notice, and come and hug her time to time, letting her to cling to him as if her life depended on the time she was allowed to touch another human being without grumbling.
The woman, who was crying big, sobby, fake tears for all the tabloids reporters, to show image of herself as a mourning mother, who's sending her daughter to marry a former enemy, while Jamie herself thought that she was just that relieved to finally stop seeing George's likeness around, to remind her of the husband she lost the same day she gained her, the exchange unfair and not worth it.
The woman that made Jamie's heart hurt, as her daughter was never enough to her, never worth any true feeling, not even the true and sincere sadness, no matter that this day could be the last time she ever saw her in person.
But they all had their part to play, and for Winona it had been mourning mother, crying crocodile tears at the loss of daughter she never truly saw, and in all probability never would.

Also, next part to come - not in Kansas.
