"What happened to mom? Is she okay?" Judy asked her brother, Michael. While he was making the call to whoever Judy had no idea about, she looked on at him with expectation. Especially when she heard him talk about their mom.
"Mom failed her interview" Michael said with a depressed countenance around him. The kids were very much aware of Susan"s new job and what it was about. She was excited back at home in the country they came from, when she secured the job. So excited to the extent that she could not afford not to let her kids know about the good news. Now she had lost it, the kids were sad.
