just to be with him

AUBREY SITS AWAKE WATCHING THE SUN RISE FROM HER WINDOW.

"Honey! We are set to leave."

The six-worded sentence snaps her out of her daze and she immediately jolts off her bed. She pats down her casual clothes with shaky hands and reach for the door in a haste. Once she shuts her bedroom door behind her, she can already smell the fragrance of her parent's perfume which indicates they're going on a long journey.

"Brady, come outside! Mum and dad are leaving today." She yells out for her brother as she walks speedily into the Livingroom; however, she is caught by surprise when she sees Brady already standing behind the adults.

Her brother squints his eyes at her, "What do you mean? I helped them prepare. I've been up since."
