Title: Lone Star
Character: Mrs. Burkle
A/N: A single star made of many small piece often made by groups for charity raffles.
Fred looked open and bubbly to people who didn't know her well. Her Mama knew her though. She knew when she got her first kiss, her first broken heart and when she pretended to be sick, a mama knows who their children really are deep down. It's a fact that most daddies don't want look too close.
There's a silent agreement between mother and daughter/replacement to keep some things between just them. She's not so sure she likes those young men that Winifred worked with anymore but she'll give them some time to straiten out whatever this latest mess is.
