She ate a slice of bread, drank juice and plucked in her earphones as she was about to leave the apartment."Bye, mum," Emma called out, turning the knob on the entrance door."Bye, dear," Maria said in a sleepy voice. Henry had been waiting by his door all morning, listening for when Emma came out of her apartment.He had spent most of his night going through her social media pages and refreshing the page for a post.

Her gaze shifted to the two teenagers who were laughing and holding hands next to her. They looked like couples to her.They looked really happy to and Emma knew that teenage love can be the best sometimes.

"I think I have an idea," Eric said.Eric had been trying his best at work lately and he had been spending most of his time at work and trying to impress his dad.Eric had always had ideas for work even when no one did.
