Aspen's P.O.V.
I woke up later than normal, dread settling in my stomach. I walked into the kitchen, fixing Candice and me breakfast.
Once it was ready I went into Candice's room and flipped on the light switch. "Candice, honey, it's time to get up," I say as I gently shake her shoulder. She slowly opens her eyes and looks up at me.
"Are we going today?" she asks still partly asleep. I nod my head and step away from her bed so she could get up. She follows me into the kitchen and sits down at the table while I fixed her a plate.
"What do you want to drink?" I ask as I set the plate of french toast and eggs in front of her.
"Orange juice, please." She begins eating as I fix our drinks. I sit my own plate on the table across from her at the table and set our drinks down before sitting down myself.
"When are we going?" Candice asks sadly while looking down at her plate. I smile gently at her.
