I needed Amber especially for this since she is my only kid and I don’t want to have any more. Amber may go back home when her mother signs the will.
I’m tired of being the mother. A weeping voice behind them said, “Mom??” Derek and Miranda turned to face Amber, who was standing there with tears streaming down her cheeks.
She knew her facts. “Amber, I didn’t mean it like that,” Miranda said, quickly reaching out to her daughter.
But Amber wasn’t paying attention. She rushed off, and Derek, still clutching the inhaler, ran after her. Fearing that she would disappear again, he began to pursue her.
He saw Amber sitting on a bench with her face in her hands, crying. Derek’s heart pounded at the sight. He approached her carefully, took a seat next her, and offered her a kind embrace.
He said, “Amber, I’m so sorry.” “I should have understood everything when she said I needed to find a ‘Hostess Family’ to live with,” said Amber, in tears.
