Shocked and confused, Tara wondered if her mom and Luther were involved. Her initial anger and hurt turned into a rollercoaster of emotions as her mom explained Luther’s unexpected visit the previous night.

Luther, in a drunken state, had shown up at Tara’s mom’s doorstep, expressing deep regret over their divorce and seeking solace. Feeling sympathetic, Tara’s mom let him stay the night on the couch, only to find him in her bed the next day.

Despite Tara’s initial disbelief and anger, Luther’s heartfelt confession about regretting their divorce and still loving her softened her stance. She realized that perhaps their separation had been too hasty. Though unsure about rekindling their relationship, Tara decided to give Luther a chance to prove his sincerity.
