Sam was on her typical 'walk home from school'. Her neighbourhood was usually very quiet. But to her surprise she could hear her dad happily chatting away with someone. Weirded out, she approached the door slowly. 

She opened the door. In the kitchen, with arms around Sam's  Dad's waist was a tall pretty woman with long dark hair and deep red lipstick. She looked to be in her late thirties- early forties, and she could see the same shade of lipstick printed onto her dads blushing crimson red face. 

"Sam! Your home early..." Said Sams dad. 

" Dad, this is when I always get home, who's your... Uhhhh company?"

" Sam, I would like you to meet Vivian..."

"Hello darling... Nice to meet you, you look just like your mother!"

" You've seen my mom....."

"Yes, you see the thing is, your father and I have been together for 4 months, but we weren't ready to tell you!" 

"Dad how could you..."

"Sam sweetheart, I've got some exciting news, we're going to be moving in with Vivian and her 4 children, their a little younger than you but I'm sure you will all get along just fine. Vivian and I are..." 

"Engaged!"  Shouted Vivian enthusiastically

"No Dad, No "

Sam runs down to her room, in a river of tears. It's to soon she kept thinking, missing her mom. But her mom had disappeared, stepped out of Sams life for good
