#Chapter20
It took me a while to get to sleep but eventually, I did. I woke up early the following morning. I dressed into sweats as I headed downstairs for breakfast. When I opened my door, I saw my mom walking down the hallway.
/"mom/" I called out to her. She had Eaton in her arms. As soon as she heard me, she placed him on the floor before running to me.
/"I was so worried Loretta, your father stupidly waited until breakfast to tell me about it,/" she said into my shoulder. I watched Eaton run up and cuddle moms' legs.
Sometimes dad thinks he's doing the right thing but most of the time it clearly isn't.
/" I'm okay mom. Nate was there with me, so nothing happened to me. Can't say the same about my apart-ment though/" I said to her.
She squeezed my arm. /"those are just material things darling; they can be fixed but that isn't the same for my daughter/"
I nodded; she was right.
