EMMA

My fork dropped on my plate the moment my mom said those words to our faces, my eyes wide as saucers, and my brain basically trying to reboot. Did she say what I just heard?
"Vivian" Vanessa said just in as much shock as I was. I gulped hard, unable to comprehend it. I could see the sternness in her eyes, she really meant this...
"Is this because of me?" Grayson's faint voice came. My mom held his hand and smiled at him before shocking her head.
"No, this is because I want to"
"Would you quit your job?" I said, biting my bottom lip, I knew how much she loved her dream job, how much she cherished it, it was what brought her joy and income, saying she wanna quit came as a serious shock for us.
"Yes, and it's what I want, it's been a long run and fun. But I wanna spend time with my children, both of you" she said looking over to me as she took my hand too. "And I have already quit like a week ago"
