"Mom." Scarlett called when she noticed October leaving the room with luggage. Scarlett was sorry she had to do this, but it was the only way she could hurt her mother. Scarlett's gaze was drawn to the luggage.
"Ah." October chuckled. "I was planning on taking a break for a month."
"A break? But why?"
"I…err…Mia says you two will be fine. I'd like to visit my family, and I'd like you two to have the house to yourselves. You can also throw a party every weekend. Isn't that exciting? To have your parents away from the house? I know teenagers always want that freedom."
"Mom." Scarlett let out a sigh. "I…Why are you trying to leave us? Do you think I'll be okay if you leave?"
