Doris winced and took her coat somewhere and headed to the doors. "I will just be in Esme's, Eve. I will be back before dinner, and I hope you are still here. And please, don't let the boys fight inside the house. They can do it in the front yard or driveway instead." Then she flipped her coat to her shoulders and walked with her hair swaying at her back.
When we heard her an engine starting up and a car moving away, that was when I started talking.
"You should mind your actions and words when you are in front of Mom, Jaxon. I don't want her to think that you and Landon are like the best of enemies. Her mind works different, you know. She drops on conclusions easily and I don't know what might she discovers in the long run if you don't mind your actions around her."
