“When have I ever lied to you? Hmm?”

“Then, can we bring Michael along?” She gave me those puppy-dog eyes.

“Summer, Michael needs to live with his daddy. If he follows us to K City, he has to part ways with his parent. Do you want to see him live separately from his daddy?”

She shook her head. “No!”

She fell silent for a while, then lifted her head to stare me in the eyes. “Mommy, I’ll go with you to K City.”

I nodded my head as a response to her decision. We all have different needs and wants. Hence, our priorities are different.
