Robert nodded obediently as he watched his mother walk away dazedly.
Elliot shot up from the couch and hurried after Avery.
"Avery, why are we going back all of a sudden?" Elliot caught up to her and grabbed her arm.
Robert wanted to know what was happening as well, so he ran over to eavesdrop.
"Look at this." Avery showed Elliot the photo Wesley sent her.
Robert stood by the stairway and watched as his parents stared at the phone. Unfortunately, he was too far away to see anything.
"What are you looking at? Can I see?" He wanted to follow them up the stairs.
To his bewilderment, his parents, who had spoiled him rotten since birth, completely ignored him and went to the second floor.
Shaken to the core, Robert immediately dialed Hayden's number. "Hayden, our parents are going home today and asked me to drop them off at the airport later. Do you know anything about this?"
"Do you know something about this that I don't?"
Robert froze at his answer and said, "Did Mom tell you?"
"Yeah."
"Why are they going home? Are they mad at me? They were fine this morning... We were even talking about going surfing in a few days!"
