Langston waited a couple of seconds before the person on the other side flashed an OK hand gesture.
He couldn't help but smile, feeling like he was entrusted with an important mission, a sense of accomplishment bubbling within him.
Beside him, Abigail peered curiously at her brother, who alternated between smiling and staring at his phone. "Who are you texting?" she asked.
"Dad," Langston replied, his attention shifting back to her as he remembered the more pressing matter at hand. He pulled Abigail closer, adopting a serious demeanor. "Abigail, will you listen to your brother?"
"Of course!"
"Then you need to promise me that you won't mention anything about Dad in front of Mom. If she asks, just say you don't know, or tell her to ask me."
Abigail furrowed her brows, puzzled. "Why? Why can't we talk to Mom about Dad?"
"Because Mom and Dad have been arguing lately, and it's better not to bring him up."
"Arguing?" Abigail's face scrunched up in concern. "Then we should make Dad come home more and stop them from fighting."
Langston patted her head. "You don't understand, but all you need to do is follow my instructions. Don't worry about the rest."
"I want to understand! I don't want to feel left out."
Langston chuckled at her innocence. "You're not being left out. My sister can't be clueless."
After all, if anyone was going to call her silly, it would only be him.
...
"Not really! Abigail and Langston are growing up and very well-behaved. Plus, my project at the company is wrapping up soon. Once it's over, I can leave the Lopez Corporation."
That would free up her schedule significantly. Besides spending quality time with her kids, Dorothy could finally have some time to herself, to reflect on what she truly wanted in life.
"How about renting somewhere closer to me? I could come over and help out with the kids more often."
"No, you've got your own daughter to think about. I don't want to impose on anyone."
Dorothy didn't want to be a burden to Kenneth or Karen anymore than she already had. She felt enough guilt towards Kenneth as it was.
"You always do this! It makes me feel like you don't see me as your best friend," Karen pouted.
She genuinely wished Dorothy would move closer so they could spend more time together. Without her, things just wouldn't be the same. Having her best friend nearby would mean the world to her.
