I Ain't Goin' Nowhere

Michael Guerin glared at the blonde woman sitting in his home. She played with the rings on her fingers, twisting one all the way around then doing the same with the other. He grunted to get her attention. She jerked her head up and a smile lit up her face.

"Oh, Michael! It's been too long."

"What do you want?" he said stiffly.

"You know why I'm here, young man, and don't you even think of taking that tone with me. You're mother would have wanted -" she started to say sadly.

"My mother? Beth wasn't my mother." Michael snapped.

"No, but she took you in and if she hadn't gotten so sick, she would be here taking care of you. And she was my sister, and I made a promise, Michael Guerin. I don't back down on them lightly," Joyce Summers said, rising to her feet. "Beth wanted me to take care of you, Michael. I'm not going to back down. You can ask my daughters, your cousins, about that next week. Right now, however you're going to sit down and do your homework while I make dinner. Is that understood?"

"Yes, ma'am."
