They look at each other, and I frown.
“Are you getting divorced?”
Dad laughs, and Mom just stares at me in shock. “What? Why in the world would you ask something like that?”
“I’m as obsessed with your mother as I was the day I married her,” Dad assures me.
“You look…serious. Is Zoey okay?”
“She’s great,” Mom says. “Dad and I are thinking about selling the house and moving into something just a little smaller. We’re empty nesters, and we don’t need this huge house anymore.”
My heart pings at the thought of them selling the house I grew up in. All of my firsts live in that house.
“At least it’s not divorce,” I reply with a forced smile.
“But it makes you sad,” Mom guesses correctly. “I know you.”
“It makes sense for you. If that’s what you guys want to do, I say do it. Buy something fancy and modern, but a little smaller. I can’t wait to see it.”
“Zoey had a harder time with the idea,” Dad says. “In fact, there were tears and threats.”
“She’ll get over it.” I sigh and then yawn. “You don’t have to save my old stuff. Donate it or toss it.”
“That’s my sentimental girl,” Mom says with a laugh. “I miss you, baby.”
“I miss you, too. When are you coming to see me?”
Dad’s eyes narrow. “Maybe sooner than you think.”
