Violet came home in a white tee shirt and sweats covered in stage makeup, proving her last show for the night had ended. She always left the costumes at the studio to avoid liability if something happened to it.
When she rode the elevator up to her family's apartment, she could hear screaming coming from the penthouse. What on earth?!
Rushing up the stairs, she saw Nathan spinning their mother around as he lifted her in the air. She was the one who was shrieking as her husband simply laughed at the scene.
"Uh…what's going on?"
"Mom got nominated for a Nobel Prize!" he said excitedly as he continued swinging Keeley around. "Isn't that awesome?!"
Violet was stunned. Not just anybody could get nominated for such a prestigious award. No wonder her mother was screaming. Two decades of working herself half to death had finally paid off.
"That's great, Mom. Congratulations!"
