"Pack your things Carls, you and I are going on a trip!" She says trying to hide the sadness in her voice, "Why? Is Dad coming with us?" I ask confusedly.
"No honey, your dad is staying here and we are going to live in England for a while!" She says, faking her enthusiasm. "Why?" my young self asks, cocking her head slightly.
"Have you noticed me and your Dad fighting lately?" She says and I nod my head up and down. I'm sure the whole neighborhood has.
"Well... we thought it would be best for you, and for us ourselves if we weren't together anymore and if we lived apart from one another." She explains whilst sitting down. Why do I feel like there's more to it then that? If she thought it was for the best, why was she screaming so much? I decide to drop my curiousness, period (the curiousness which always seems to lead to a disaster) and go along with her accusation anyways.
"Oh... will I see Dad again?" I ask my fidgety mum, trying to hide the slight crackle to my voice; I know deep down whats happening.
"Yes honey; But not for a little while... come on lets get your clothes packed, we're going on an adventure!"
