Chapter 17

They say no matter which road you choose in life,they all have their fair share of speed bumps. Well, mine come with craters.

After what happened, Amber grew distant. I can't say I blame her, what, with how drastically her life has changed in the span of a day. I'm not sure what course to take without pushing her further away.

At the moment, she is sitting on the couch with her children. All three quietly starring at nothing in particular. I can feel the confusion rolling off of her in waves. See the despair in her eyes.

With a sudden thought, I step in front of them, watching as all eyes shift to me.

"It seems like you kids need something to break the boredom. I believe I have just the thing. Follow me."

I walked away, not looking back to see if they are following. I have no doubt they will. Curiosity gets the better of everyone.
