I sit in the living room as I anxiously wait for Ava to drop off Skye.
I wish that Parker and Ashton were here so that Parker and I could break the news to her together. I hear the door open and I turn towards her. She throws her backpack on the ground and goes to the kitchen as she asks, “Why were Ava and Jasper in charge of today’s training? I mean, I know mom’s not good, but you’ve been doing great without her. Were you just tired?”
I scratch the back of my head in nervousness and answer, “We have something we need to talk about, kid.”
She looks at me with a confused and concerned expression and as she walks closer I can see the worry in her eyes. I smile softly at her to try to let her know that everything’s okay and she hesitantly asks, “What’s going on?”
