Laurel was too busy with her inflection to even really notice the way that the other studied her. She was too busy torn between feeling super guilty and relieved about Wyatt. It wasn't that she didn't love him -- she really did -- it was just that being his mother was a very tiresome affair. For that she felt guilty, but also... If he was happy here, then wouldn't it be a win for both of them? Then why was she still feeling guilty?

Luckily for Laurel, she gratuitously used the mouth that she had been given at birth, so she didn't need to be asked if she wished to see her son. She simply asked, with the same neutrality -- that was in fact the result of a storm of emotions going on in her head, so she got into her "thinking face" and voice: Can you call for him? I'd like to see him. The way she spoke was almost a little entitled. Which Laurel hadn't really meant that way, but once it was out, she didn't correct herself.
