CHAPTER 28

  Their mother exited the room and went upstairs. When it returned, they were given the hooded jacket.

  "Thank you, mother; why don't you join them?" Leandre suggested.

  Her mother sighed and rolled her eyes.

  "I'd rather be locked up until morning than be with that man," his mother replied.

  "What's your problem? Do you have any unfinished business?" Emerald inquired.

  "No way! You two have to leave," his mother said as he walked up the stairs.

  Emerald and he both laughed. Right out of the gate.

  "Let's get in the car; I'm going to buy something in the city, and we're going to try to go to the parks and stay there," Leandre said as he climbed into the car.

  "Okay."

  When Emerald approached the front, he started the car. He was driving slowly because he was suffering from a headache.

  "What are you going to buy?" Emerald inquired.

  "I'm going to get some medicine because I've had a headache for a while," he replied.
