[16] Dinner
Three years ago...
~Lance POV~
Today was my parents 13th wedding anniversary, so they suggested we just have a nice family dinner, well since my Dad always came back late from work, the dinner was till little after dark so he could meet up.
Three years ago when they were celebrating their tenth, we had had a grand celebration here at the manor in honour of a decade, but this year was different they wanted it quiet and just the three of us in attendance.
Lately my dad has always been preoccupied with work, and he had not been able to spend time with us, so today was just like a family get together or reunion.
It was already 6:39pm, dinner was scheduled for 7:15pm, I had nothing to do and my Dad wasn't yet back from work, my Mom however was downstairs ensuring every was in perfect order.
I decided to put on one of my favorite outfits, even if it was

Kara said to me as she blocked one of my blows.I smirked and lunged at her.We have been practicing and training for the unknown, we just believe that when everything goes down and the puzzle finally fits properly, we'll need all the fighting skills we can summon.Drew had taken it upon himself to ensure our training goes well, but he took a break few minutes ago. Kara and I decided to continue.We were training at the roof top my manor, it was leveled and had a wall barricade around, the view from up here was perfect. I did my best to make sure I didn't look over the edge because that's when I realized how high up we were and it was sorta scary.Through several grunts, tackles, quacks, blows, blocks and locks, Kara finally pins me down..."Tap out, I've got you this time!." She exclaimed as she breathed

Thoughts that brought tears to my eyes.I didn't even know I was crying till I felt something tickle my cheek and I sniffed. I did my best to get myself back together, I didn't want to add to Kara's problems.Luckily she didn't say anything, she just looked up at me and lowered her head back again.Little did she know...Was I crying because of Nana, not really but I was conc
