Thanks! It seemed to make sense (to me) that she would get close with his mom if she were "serious" about liking Cloud. I chose Audra because it's a Lithuanian name that means "storm". So... it's got a connection to "Cloud" without being overly obvious (Raine, Skye, etc.).

That is why I wanted a "better" reason! Hopefully it works.

That line made me grin really big, too =)
