Chapter 1

"Good Morning Veronica" Kara wished seeing a sleepy Veronica tip-toe into the kitchen trying not to disturb her Mother

"How do you always get to know it's me?"

"I'm your mother, Veronica, and besides out of my daughters you're the only one who tip toes in the kitchen in the morning like a thief,"

I have a younger sister, Emily, she's 7 years old and the cutest member of our family. In contrast, I inherited my Dad's Hazel eyes and my Mom's smile. She inherited Mom's black eyes and Dad's smile. We both may look similar on the outside but are opposites in reality. I am the calm and quiet one; she is like a loudmouth.

"So ready for the big day, because I am," Mom said brimming with happiness pulling me out of my thoughts

"Hmm...I'm ready," I said walking over to the coffee machine to get some coffee

"You don't look quite happy for your last day of college what's going on?"

"What if I tell you I'm not happy...." Veronica sits down with a gloomy face "I miss Dad. Wish he was here with us maybe then things would have been a little easier for all of us and I guess that would have made me happy.

You wouldn't have to go back and forth working and neither would I have to work in the cafe. Even though I love it. I just can't grasp how can he act like nothing happened amd left us like it was nothing at all!"

"You know honey, it's not about whether things go as you want them to be or not. It's about how you handle the things that are being thrown at you," Mom explained taking the chair beside me as I rested my head on her shoulder

My mom, Kara Denvers, is a fashion designer who works for Pastel and Peterson Co, she's amazing at what she does there. Since the moment Dad left us she's been working non-stop to provide us with the best life with all she had

"Thanks for the pep-talk Mo" I reply as she smiles patting my shoulder we heard footsteps from the stairs and suddenly the noise stopped at the end of the staircase we looked up to see a half-asleep Emily standing by the stairs

"Good morning Emily," I said crouching down to her level

"Morning Ronnie," she said smiling

"Well, what are you waiting for? it's gonna get cold dig in," she said, after finishing breakfast I got dressed for the day walking down to the living room and looking for Mom

"Mom, are you ready? You have an important photo shoot to attend and a flight to catch right now,"

"I know honey," she said as I saw her walk into the living room wearing a light blue color dress with heels

"You look, beautiful Mom," I commented seeing how perfectly the outfit was hugging her body and thinking could she maintain a figure and body like this even at this age

"Well don't I always!" she exclaimed as we laughed

"I know I'll be gone for a month now, so can you look after Emily while I'm gone? Peter will be here to help you out in case you need it. I want you to take care of yourself and her while I'm away for work can you girls do that?"

"Of course, Mom I'll take care of her just fine,"

"And one more thing do-"

"Don't forget to meet Peter, I know Mom, we'll be just fine don't worry. You should focus on your work I'll handle everything back here with Peter"

Peter has been my Mom's college best friend since childhood we used to play and go on picnics with him after his job. After Dad left us he was the one who helped Mom and us when we were having a hard time
