" You're home late today and look.."
" Exhausted? I am."

" What's wrong?"
" Stressed with school work. Where's Cibael?"

" In her room."

" What of mum and dad?"
" Still on a business trip. Go and get some rest."

" Sure."

Tyron takes a quick shower and joins his sisters to eat.

Mia: Welcome Miss. You must be tired.
Rashell: I am.

Ian: Rashell!
He runs to hug his sister.

" ¿ Por qué estás corriendo?"
" Entró al cuarto de Juanita y se comió su helado." Says Lupita

" Ian didn't we make a deal you won't eat anyone's ice cream again?"
" Lo siento, Virginia."

" Go and tell Juanita that."

Juanita joins them downstairs.

"Phibel, Ian has something to tell you."
" ¿Eso?"
" Lo siento. I won't go into your room and eat your ice cream again."

" Apology accepted but we need to get ice cream again."

" Virginia please.. can we go and get it?"
Lupita pleads with Rashell.

" Yhh. I'll take a quick shower and we'll go and get it."

Rashell takes a quick shower and joins her siblings to get ice cream.

After dining, Emily takes Cibael to her room and watches her sleep. Tyron sits on his desk and works on his assignment.

Knock

" Can I come in?"
" Huh! Since when did you ask permission before walking into  my room."

" Popcorn?"
" Yep."

Emily hands Tyron the popcorn and jumps on his bed.

Chewing he says,

" So what do you plan on doing?"
" As of now?"

" Yh."
" Don't know yet but having fun like a trip with you, Cibael, mum and dad is a must."

" Sounds nice."
" What are you focused on?"

" Project work."
" And you're doing it alone, don't you have a partner?"

" Uh..I do.. but we decided to do it separately."
" Oh okay, not bad. Are you almost done?"

" Not really but we can talk."

He stops the assignment and joins his sister on his bed.

" I miss the old days." Sighs deeply
" Really?"

" Yhh"
" Are you still dating or its over?"

" Guess?"
" It's over."

" Yep."
" What happened?"

" Lack of communication, busy with work, you know how the US army works too. All the same it's pretty well with the others."

" I see.. you must be seeing someone now, or?"
" Kinda. He's also in the army."

" That's lovely."
" Yep. Now enough of me. Let's talk about you."
