My parents divorced when I was only four years old, resulting in never-ending battles over my brother and I.

Months later, my aunt passed away on the back porch with my three young cousins as…

She sighed softly "Yes, I'll get right on that Ms. Andrews," the strawberry petite blonde girl spoke in an almost uneasy tone. It wasn't that she didn't want to go out, well it was. Though it was also that her brother was interviewing at the company she worked for, why they would need a journalist? She didn't quite understand that, but she didn't understand a lot of things that happened there. She had learned over the last four years too not ask questions. "Also, Mr. Parkson will be returning…
