"Thanks for coming" I said and told everyone goodbye. It's been a rough day and I needed to visit my grandma before it turns dark.

I closed the door and looked at mom.

"Thanks for helping me today" she said and smiled. Her eyes was tired and swollen and her voiced was really slow.

"Go to sleep mom, I'll take care of the dishes" I smiled and my mom nodded and headed towards the stairs.

I walked into the living room and started to clean away some cups from the table.

"Pumpkin where's mom?" Dad asked as he walked into the room.

"I told her to go to sleep. She looked really exhausted" I said and kept cleaning the table from cups and some spilled sugar.

"You're an angel Sam, we really miss having you around here" he said and took a seat in the flower patterned couch.

"I'm miss to be around here to, but my life is in New York with Lucas" I said and looked at him.

"You two can live here? There's a lot of apartments for sale?" He offered.

"Dad that's not the point. Me and Lucas moved to New York to start a new life on our own" I explained.

He nodded. "But can you at least go to that interview? It's not everyday you can go to an interview at a billionaire company you know"

"Okay I'll go, but don't be disappointed if I turn it down" I said.

"It's your own choice" he half smiled.

I smiled and wiped away some spilled coffee on the table.

"Where does grandma lives again?" I asked.

"Down the road, she's living in the mint green house" he said.

I nodded again. It would be fun to meet granny again after all these years.

"I'm just going to change clothes and then I'm going over to granny" I said and walked towards the stairs.

"Granny will be so happy to see you" dad said.

I smiled and walked upstairs on the old wooden stair leaving a cracking noise as I stepped on it. I walked to my old room and it looked exactly as I left it. Pink walls with some old horse painting on them. It smelled old but it was clean, mom must have been cleaning it before I came here. I sat down on the bed and opened my bag that dad left here before the ceremony. I took my phone and saw that Lucas had called me twice. I typed his number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hey babe, you didn't answered my text earlier. How's everything going?" He asked.

"It's going on fine. I'm about to visit my grandma" I said and played with a curl between my fingers.

"That's sounds fun honey, I'm home now and I'm about to invite my mom over for dinner. Dad is out of town on a business trip and I don't want her to be home alone"

"That's really sweet of you Lucas. Tell her I said hey" I said.

"I will honey. When are you coming home?"

"On Monday I think, my dad really wants me to go on an interview tomorrow" I sighed.

"An interview? That sounds perfect baby" he said with a happy voice.

"But it's in Washington?" I said a bit confused.

"So? If you get the job we can move there"

"But what about your job? And our home?" I asked.
