"Mom, please," Carson sighs, annoyed at her obvious animosity towards her. The aggressive dish-washing gave it away, along with the occasional glare.
"You don't do that to people, Carson! You don't just... I lost my son. And then my daughter? She let me think I lost her too. So just- I can't do this," she yells, throwing the sponge in the sink and walking off.
"Why did I come back?" she groans, laying her head on the counter.
"Because you love this town," Drew walks in the house. God, this man was everywhere.
"Not so much anymore. I hate it here. I hate everything."
"Everything?"
"Everything. I have nothing left in me, dad. I can't keep fighting everyone. I can't do this anymore."
"You are strong. You are the strongest person I know. Don't let a few bad moments ruin your life. You want your friends to forgive you? Talk to them. Life sucks, sometimes. We do things that are unforgivable. But crying about it in your room everyday will not make it easier. Get up," he sternly says.
"You and Mom are not great at encouraging people."
"Call him, Carson. Talk to him. If he still is mad, then fine, you can cry then. Just not around me, I don't do tears. Now, I have to go back, I'll see you in the morning. How's that for caring?" he walks out.
"Terrible."
She takes his advice, heading upstairs to call Stiles.
"What?"
"Can you please come over? I just want to explain."
"I already-"
"I know what you said, but I deserve a chance to explain. That's all I am asking, Stiles. Please."
"Fine."

"Be quick, I'm supposed to help Malia study," he walks in her room.
"Okay. When I died, I wasn't supposed to come back-"
"Wow, just like every other person in the world. That's crazy," he feigns shock.
"I wasn't supposed to come back because of the way I died. It's sort of like the most effective way to kill a siren. It kills even the strongest, or evolved."
"Mm hm."
"But for whatever reason, Sofia was able to bring me back using this ritual. Normally it wouldn't work, but special circumstances, I guess. So we spent two weeks in Cancun with this other siren, trying to make sure I was gonna stay alive. We didn't say anything because we didn't want to get anyone's hopes up, just in case I ended up dying again," she glances at his seemingly unimpressed expression.
