Goodbye, Dad

2 Weeks later...

It was her first day of going to college and Kate was so excited that she barely slept the previous night.

After returning from the lake house, she texted her friend Emily about going to college and both the girls were super excited to share a classroom space. It was like a dream come true for those long-distance friends.

Kate had packed her bag the previous day itself and now, she was getting dressed along with Marcus, who would drop her off at the college.

“Marcus...”

“Yes, Honey?”

“What if some boy comes up and talks to me?” she asked, hoping to get a rise out of her husband because she knew how much he hated when she talked to other men. And now that she was going to be surrounded by teenagers, he should be furious. But his answer was calm.

“Then you talk back to them. That is how you socialize” he said monotonously while buttoning up his suit. He was getting ready for the office. After leaving her at the college at the guard of his loyal men, he would go to work.
