If she did not need to work, her parents would have taken her to Bridgedale.
It had been a year since Layla had started working at Tate Industries. Time had flown by.
It had been a year of growth for her.
Her parents had begun to stay out of her personal and work life. Though she struggled to adjust, she knew that it was a necessary burden if she wanted to grow as a person.
That night she returned home after a long day at the office. She thought that silence would be the only one there to greet her, but when she got home Kiara and Rose were there. Shea had brought them over.
"Layla, your parents haven't arrived at Bridgedale, right? I didn't want you to feel bored alone at home, so I brought Kiara and Rose here," Shea said with a smile.
"You are the best, Aunt Shea! Mom and Dad took Robert with them to Bridgedale, and I was kind of upset about it this morning, but I feel so much better to see you guys here."
Layla patted Kiara on the head before doing the same to Rose.
"What are your plans for the summer holidays?"
"I'll do what Big Sister does." Kiara had always copied Rose. She followed Rose around like a puppy and did almost everything Rose did. Though the two were not sisters by blood, they were just as close.
"I don't have any plans. I just want to stay home with Mom and Dad." Rose could not be exposed to sunlight, and she had to be extremely careful during summer.
"You can come here more often to eat with me, then!" Layla said. "Or you can just stay here. I might not have time to play with you, but I can take you out on the weekends."
Layla adored her cousins because they were as sweet and innocent as angels.
