After that night, my parents started to go out more often, together. They fixed several dates for each other, like a newly wed couple. Sometimes, I'd catch them stealing glances at each other. It was a new era. During these moments, mom's migraines lessened. She started to gradually stop her medications because her health had improved, her stress levels had drastically dropped. Even I was excited for her, and I thought it'd last.

But it didn't.

We enjoyed it while it lasted ...
