Eleanor Bellamy stood at the entrance of the large estate, her mind consumed with only two thoughts: how had she gotten here, and what was she going to do about her children's schooling? The biting cold of the winter air swept around her, its frosty fingers probing through the layers of her coat, adding an extra layer of urgency to her contemplations.

Blake keeps switching the radio station which is annoying but I don't say anything because it makes her happy. We have only four hours to go until we hit the California Border, maybe five with the way Blake is driving. "Do you think Mom is going to be mad?" Blake says this as another car speeds past us giving us a look. "It's probably going to take her a week to even notice we are gone," I say. This makes Blake laugh but it's true.

You step outside and take a breath of the fresh air. The sun was out and white fluffy clouds sat all throughout the sky, they looked like a Bob Ross painting. Today was a good day, you could feel it. You always knew this day would come. You and your husband, Josh, have waited for it since forever. You slowly walk toward your faded pink mailbox that stands at the end of your driveway and pull out the stack of mail waiting to be looked at. The cool breeze picks up through your hair and the smell of new paper hits your nose. You skip through co...
