"What?" Schlatt said, basically asking Connor to repeat. He had heard him, but needed a repeat to be sure.
"The landlord sold the house. We've gotta move out within two weeks" Connor repeated. "So, I think maybe you should tell Amaya the news.." He tilted his head to the right before he walked off to his room to start packing.
Schlatt stood there for a moment, everything was finally going right for him. Amaya had been enrolled in a private school, which made her safer. He found a funny monkey statue that brightened his day. He was finally happy.. but then this happened.
When he picked Amaya up from school that day, the ride was much quieter than it usually was, he would often ask how her day was and she'd tell a whole story which (time wise) lasted to their front door, but this time he didn't ask his common question. "Are you okay?" Amaya asked him.
He looked up from the steering wheel and pursed his lips. "May, hun, we gotta move-- like.. houses" He finally told her.
"Are we going back to new york?" She looked at the back of his head, he didn't turn to look back at her.
"Uhm.. I don't know yet" He shrugged. "Probably not, but.. it'll all be okay in the end, I promise" He placed a hand on his chest and pat his heart, she couldn't see it from the backseat, so she never returned it.
They packed their things, Minx had already left, her flight to Ireland was midday meaning Amaya didn't get to say goodbye. Connor was next to go, he packaged his things carefully, he stuffed them in his car, and drove off. Esfand hired a moving truck, he got his stuffed loaded into the truck and left. Mizkif had done the same as Esfand. Schlatt and Amaya were the last to go, of course he couldn't bring everything he owned to their new apartment, Amaya had only packed clothes, blankets, and Bo. They stood at the front door of their old home, Schlatt stared into the dark as Amaya looked up at him and played with the carrier Schlatt held that Jambo was in. "It's okay, we'll find someplace better" Amaya smiled, he tore his gaze away from the dark and looked at her, a weak smile was gifted to her.
