Here's the next chapter. Thank you for everyone who checked out the first chapter because this is a project I'm really excited about. This will be a fluff piece so get ready for the beginning of some feels and fangirling :)
This again is a shor chapter, but I think the next one will be a longer one.

Our next big encounter is when Mom invites him over for dinner after a long day of work. Dad and Luke come inside as I’m walking into the kitchen and Mom has the table already set. Luke is in a plaid shirt with a white tank top and worn-out jeans. Luke greets my mom and as my dad kissing my mom I see Luke turn to my direction. Our eyes meet and I’m immediately smiling. I say hi to him before talking a seat at the table—right across from him.
“How was your day Skylar?” Dad asks, putting gravy on his mashed potatoes.
“It was okay,” I answer. “Nothing too exciting.”
Mom takes the ham from Luke. “I’ve been telling her to get a job in town, but of course she doesn’t.”
My grip on my fork tightens. “You talk as if I’m not here,” I try to say without scorn. Dad always seemed to get me—more than Mom ever did.
Mom looks up at me and sets the ham plate between us. “I’m sorry, I guess I have to get used to you being here instead of hours away where I never got the chance to visit.”
“We have a guest,” Dad interrupts. “Don’t start a fight.”
I continue to watch Mom as she pursed her lips and starts cutting her ham. She always hated that I went to a good school and that it’s far away from home, but it’s what I had to do. Dad understands why can’t she? I bite the inside of my cheek and look down at my plate.
“Anyway, how’s your mother doing Luke?” Dad asks, turning the conversation on Luke—thank goodness. I couldn’t stand the attention on me for another second.
“She’s doing better—today at least.”
I furrow my eyebrows. “What’s wrong with your mom?” I ask.
“She’s—um—she’s sick.” His eyes turn to sorrow and I feel horrible for asking.
