After Dub has left, Maia goes upstairs to check on Tami an hour before school. Maia: *calls out* Tami! Are you ready? You don’t want to be late on your first day. Tambara comes out of the bathroom in an outfit that makes her look years older. Maia: You can’t wear that to school! There’s…
Sleep doesn’t come easy in a strange house and bed. I wake after hearing Maia move around in the garage next to the master bedroom. I check my phone. It’s a little after 3 am. Maia isn’t normally an early riser. I leave the bedroom and listen at the garage door, debating if I should…
Dub isn’t the only one feeling like a fool. Maia feels the same, but for her, it’s deep-rooted and long-standing. The emotions that have come from being disrespected and disregarded have lasted too long.

It’s after midnight when we finally head to bed. Before we do, I mention to Maia that Luca and Sophia invited us to a barbeque at their house later that day. Wade: I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. We can cancel if you’re not feeling up to it. I’m sure they’ll understand. Maia: No,…
The house is empty when I return from my jog. Maia didn’t say she was leaving or tell me where she was going, so I’m concerned-hoping she’s okay. It’s just me and Tami when Tami arrives home from school. Tambara: Can you teach me how to ride my bike, Daddy? The other kids at school…
Tami has school, so we leave Chestnut Ridge early the following day and return home just before sunrise. Everyone seems to be happy to be back.
