[color=#9B111E]"I'm jealous that I'm not that close with you... Or anybody for that matter."[/color] I say truthfully in a very small voice, feeling immensely vulnerable and embarrassed at the same time. Glancing away from Caden and out the window instead, I chew on my bottom lip. I recognize that we're getting close to Caden's house and start to worry that I might have killed the mood that was so nicely set up from dinner.

[color=F0A06B][i]I mean, running on very little sleep is usually my MO anyway lol[/i][/color] I text her, thinking of how many late nights I've spent in the ER. I turn my attention back to my dad. [color=F0A06B]"Do you know anything about them? I don't actually remember if you told me when mom and you left China."[/color] It had started as pure curiosity, but now I'm realizing that I don't really remember my parents telling me almost [i]anything[/i] about when they still lived there. One of the few things was about the traditional funeral services they had for my grandparents, but I can't really remember anything else.
