"Mom, hey," Charlie says with a small sigh and a faint pursing of her lips. She lets go of her mom and steps around to lean a hip on the counter, watching her mom carefully. She looks over her face, trying to find some kind of tell that mom isn't giving her a truthful answer. But this is a habit for Charlie, trying to figure out if she can trust a person or not.

She knows, however, that she can trust mom. She always has and always will.

"You need to tell me the truth. It's not going to do anyone any good if you don't, especially not you. Especially if it's about Dad." She's not dumb. She knows this is what has everyone upset, so it's not too far a leap in logic to assume mom is upset, too.
