“Okay, drive carefully.” Her mother says and gives Tina a hug.

“I will, see you in a couple of hours.” Tina says and leaves.

She drives into town and parks in front of Dana’s job. She walks inside and takes a seat at the counter.

“Hey TK.” Dana says as she sees her come in.

“Hey Dana.” Tina replies.

“What can I get you?” Dana asks.

“A tea maybe.” Tina says.

“Coming right up.” Dana says.

“Thanks. So, feeling different today?” Tina asks smiling at Dana.

”A little, you?” Dana asks.

“Yeah, me too… I told mom today.” Tina says.

“What did she say?” Dana asks.

“She was shocked about loosing my job, then she offered me the garage for free, so I could save my money until I starts college.” Tina says.

“Wow, what are you going to do?” Dana asks.

“Well, I don’t feel like moving back home… But I need money, and I’ll have the garage, I’ll have my own space. And it would be nice to have Megan and Michael around me before I have to move away. I’ll miss out on them once I move away.” Tina says.

“Yeah.” Dana says.

“I mean they’re only 10 and 14. Michael will be fine either way, but Megan is only 10 and she’s a girl, she needs her big sister.” Tina says and looks down on her tea that Dana placed in front of her. “Thanks.” She adds.

“It’s not that far from Philadelphia to here. She can come up for weekends.” Dana suggests.

“I guess…. It’s still months away. First I have to get in.” Tina says and smiles.

“Yeah, that first.” Dana agrees and chuckles a little.

Tina stays there, talking with Dana until she has to get her little sister and brother.

“I have to go, I’m picking Megan and Michael up from school. I’ll see you later.” Tina says as she walks out and gets into her car and drive over to the school. She parks alongside parents and gets out, she lean against the door and watches as the kids gets out. The first to notice her is Megan, she runs to Tina and into her arms.

“Hey Meg.” Tina says and gives her a big hug. Moments later Michael joins them. “Hey Mikey.” Tina says and smiles.
