All Rebecca had to do was wait 2 more years then she could see her child again, but she had already missed out on 8 years of their life and didn't want to miss anymore, so she secretly planned to violate the restraining order that had been built on half-truths and lies. She was no threat to jij, and to prove that, she kind of cat-fished him, by bribing a friend to set jij up on a blind date, which was really a way to meet with him secretly.
Rebecca knew there was risk. If her ex-husband had successfully made them hate her, then jij might immediately report her, but she put a contingency plan in place at her company incase she ended up in jail, she had lawyers on standby, and from what she could tell online, jij seemed a smart and open minded person. Rebecca prayed that was true, and she was given a chance despite her despising her ex and his mother.
She sat at her table nervously, nursing a drink, waiting for jij's arrival, wondering what they'd think. She purposely sat facing away from the door, so Rebecca's face wouldn't be seen, and bribed the Maître d' to bring them to directly to her table while ignoring the set up, but it also meant she couldn't see him approach
Every minute that passed caused Rebecca's self doubt to grow. Would jij hate her? Would they understand why she didn't fight for them at first? Did they know their father had been lied to about her? How many lies did jij's Grandmother tell them? And did June somehow know and have a private investigator waiting to take pictures? How could she know?
As Rebecca looked around, trying to spot cameras, she became aware of someone coming over. The Maître d' led jij to her table, announcing "This is your table."
Rebecca looked at jij and quickly explained, "I'm sorry for tricking you, but I really wanted to be able to see you again. I hope you can forgive me." and hoped dearly they'd give her a chance. "I'm your Mother."
