I just don't get why you can't just find a regular job like Hannah did and stay closer to home?." Hannah was the neighbouring kid, a few years older than you.  She finihed her studies and now has a perfectly good job in sales and marketing.

Your mother was not pleased, but could you blame her? She'd spent the past two decsdes jist taking care of you. She'd given up nearly everything just for you. You were her life and now you were leaving her. She didn't sound angry though, just sad.

"Well, I guess you're too much like your father for that." There was definitely a hint of... Annoyance in that comment. Strange, for she never apoke of your father with anything otger than respect. At least not to you.
