As the days went by, Sydney felt more lonely and hollow inside.
Ethan and Emily were barely home, since Gavin got discharged, he always picked them up from school and took them out. While Gabriel, on the other hand, had been eerily quiet and distant.
Normally, he'd stay for breakfast, and they'd talk for an hour before he bundled woods to his bike and drove off to God knows where, but when she woke up, she found him gone.

She'd begun writing cooking books and animal welfare books, dedicated especially to her mother and kids.
