[DC] A Parched Heart Seeks Relief

She did not give him a perfect image of a mother, but she gave him her true nature: a statue, intricate and complex enough. He touched it, studied it, polished it. He played the perfect child of the statue, and played another delicate, pallid Galatea, as if love had breathed life into her. Reading note: Everyone's mother issues, and Tim, who's able to solve them. Someone tell me why I'm really writing this. I don't think there's a romantic relationship between them, but you can read it that way if you want. Theme: Longing for a mother.
