each other

"Abby get a hold of yourself!" Their mom exclaimed. Dan and Andy weren't home yet. Alex sat squirming.

"Mom. I am not joking! He Is not innocent. Something is wrong!"Abby exclaimed.

"Abby it was just a dog! And he had a gun for protection. You know how men are! Dan is just a carpenter! " their mom said exasperated.

"Really? How Is it he is never working? Why hasn't he ever shown you his house? Why doesn't he talk about his first marriage? He took you to Europe when he is a friggin carpenter!! He is hiding some thing! " Abby said.

"Abbeline Smith..! " their mother exclaimed.

"That's another thing. Why did you take on his name so readily? I am NOT a Smith. I am still Abbeline McFarlane ! As is Alexis. You may have married Dan. We did not!" Abby said with her arms Crossed over her chest.

Alex sighed. She couldn't argue. She agreed with her sister. Something was sketchy. They found out that Dan had shot a dog that had wandered into their yard. This raised suspicion. Why couldn't their mom see that?

Her mom sighed and walked out the room. Abby sat at the table and rubble her temples.

"I'm going to the park. I need to cool down. If Dan comes, go to the neighbors house and play with the kid there. What's her name? Cathy? Right. Play with her. " she said and walked out. She was a beautiful girl. She looked just like Alex just mature. Her eyes were hazel. The only difference was she was blonde.

Alex sighed as Abby walked out. She had never seen her so stressed. Atleast she had her though. They had each other. That was enough.
