Dorothy had tried several times to bring up the subject of moving abroad with Abigail and Langston. Abigail seemed pretty easy-going about it, but Langston was obviously avoiding the conversation. Feeling it was too harsh to drop the news on the kids just yet, Dorothy decided to wait a few more days before talking to them about it.

Living in Bay Residence was becoming unbearable for Dorothy. The thought of staying there any longer filled her with dread. So, when Abigail and Langston got back from school today, she decided it was time to bring up the subject of moving abroad once again with Langston.
