I love how she just talked about this over the phone lol
Their relationship is so great and it's indeed very refreshing to see the mother feel remorseful about pushing her views on romance on her daughter in previous years.
It is also quite interesting to see the contrast between the two leads and their relationship with their parents: one is completely open and didn't hesitate a moment to share her feelings with her mum, while the other is tightly closeted (understandably, seeing how her mother acts) and heavily restricted by her parents. I'm curious to see how the author will continue to explore these dynamics in the following chapters.
