Chapter 14: Conflicts of passion

Taryn

“Alright, I’m going to work, Willa. You know where to call me if you need me. The keys to the van are on the kitchen counter.”

Willa nods her head as she tucks a blanket around my dad’s legs. Willa’s daughter, Ingrid, invited dad and Willa to stay the weekend with her. Her two daughters are out of town for their graduation trip, and her son is staying at his best friend’s house. Which means that she has room for both dad and Willa at the place. They have stayed over at Ingrid’s house in the past. They love it. It’s like taking a mini-vacation.

I think this time, Ingrid asked them to stay the night for her own peace of mind. From what Willa told me, Ingrid was shaken to hear about last night’s events.

I kiss the top of my dad’s head as I gather my bag and head to the door. Willa waves from the bedroom. “Be safe, sweetheart, and don’t forget to call me as soon as you get home.”
