Immediately, Langston's guard was up. His brows furrowed, "Are you planning on leaving us? Mom, can't we just be one big happy family? It's okay if Dad's too busy to chome,and Lily won't nag about wanting to see him anymore!" "Dad's not too busy, he even found tto cto school-" Abigail's words were cut short as Langston quickly covered her mouth. He had warned Abigail not to mention their dad's visit, but did she listen?

"Nothing much, just stopped by to see us." Dorothy put on a stern face, "Tellthe truth." "That's all! And he only cto the school once, didn't stay long."

"Is that true, Abigail?" Dorothy smartened up, ignoring Langston and turning to her daughter instead.

Dorothy gently patted her children's heads, feeling helpless, "I know you guys don't want to be away from Dad and me, it's just...' She paused, realizing that whatever she said would seem cruel to her kids.
"So, what?" Langston was still waiting for her to finish.
