“Are you sure you have to go?” Camille said smiling, grabbing her daughters hand.
Isabel held her mother's hand tight.
“Well, I signed on the dotted line today, so it's official!”
“It's going to be so weird around here without your laugh.” Camille let go of her daughters hand, stood, and walked to the kitchen counter.
Isabel was having a difficult time processing everything. She decided to take the next step in her career, which meant moving away from her home and her family. She was a Philly girl, born and raised, loved the big city.
Now here she was moving to a small town on the coast of North Carolina. It doesn't have to be forever, just a couple years. She kept repeating that to herself.
The back door noisily opened, startling Isabel back to the present. Her brother Dane strolled in, all six feet four inches of him. Izzy and her brother shared the same hair color, the same eyes, and until today, were inseparable.
Dane stopped in his tracks, inhaling deeply.
“Is that my Mom's homemade apple pie?” Smiling, Dane walked over and kissed his mom on the cheek, then sat down in the kitchen chair next to Isabel. “How are you doing Sis?”
Isabel smiled with a little bit of work, “I signed the contract today, so… feeling a bit overwhelmed.”
“Please. They're lucky to have you.” Jack, Isabel's father, said as he walked into the kitchen. He sat down opposite Isabel and Dane.
Dane nodded in agreement, “were you able to rent the cottage you wanted by the beach?”
“I totally forgot to tell you! I did get the cottage! It's amazing.” Punching Dane's arm lightly, “AND you better visit, and more than once.”
