PENTHOUSE
Annabelle rushed into the room, excitement written all over her face. "Daddy, Daddy! I met your friend today at the park!"
Romeo's eyes widened in shock, his mind racing with thoughts. "Blake is dead, or could she have seen a ghost?" he thought to himself, a faint smile playing on his lips.
But Annabelle didn't notice her father's reaction. She kept talking, her words tumbling out in a rush. "He asked me where we were moving to, Daddy!"
Romeo's smile faded, his expression turning serious. "So, this buddy of mine, what did he say to you?"
Annabelle's eyes sparkled with excitement. "He asked me where we were moving to, and I told him York County!"
Marie, who had been preparing dinner in the kitchen, came running out, her face pale with worry. "What did you tell him, Annabelle?" she asked, her voice trembling.
Annabelle's face fell, her eyes welling up with tears. "I told him we were moving to York County, Mummy."
