I almost laughed. “Difficult?” “You know everyone is trying to move on.” “I am moving on.” “Then maybe…” She hesitated. “…maybe you should think about finding your own place.” There it was. The first official attempt. “So that’s what this is about.” “I only mean—” “No,” I interrupted softly. “You mean exactly what you said.” She sighed dramatically. “This house belongs to the family.” I smiled. “Does it?” Her eyebrows knitted together. “What does that mean?” “Oh, nothing.” I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and walked away before she could ask another question.
