Finally, it was time for the parents to leave. They were satisfied with everything and promised to visit whenever possible.
Ava gave her mother a tight embrace; tears were fighting to drop from her beautiful eyes.
Ann hasn't left yet, but she already misses her daughter. This was the first time since Ava was born that she would be living away from home. Tears began rolling down her cheek while embracing her beloved daughter.
"Remember, if you don't like it here…" Ann didn't get to finish what she was going to say; Ashley interrupted her.
"Ann, we need to get going… If not, we might not ever let them stay." Her face was filled with sadness, and it seems she was about to sob as well.
Ann nodded to her friend, released Ava from her tight embrace, and gave her tender kisses on both cheeks before turning around to leave.
