"Angela is gone."
Olivia was still laughing about yesterday while she walked around with Karen. She was more interested in walking around now that she was a week older. Whenever she was left in her bassinet, she whined. Olivia was meeting with the adoption agency later in the day.
"I can fight your bullies now." Olivia teased.
"You're not as dainty as you appear. I'm sure you can fight my bullies."
"I'm glad she's gone."
"I shouldn't have broken her hand. I don't want you to think I fight women."
"I know it was her idea. You were angry. I know you weren't trying to break her hand."
"Do you want to come with me to Vermont next weekend. I'm going to look at land for our cabin."
"Yeah, I need a vacation before I go back to work."
"Does Karen like the woods in your dream?"
"No. She prefers the beach."
"Are you ready to go back to work?"
"I wish the school day wasn't so long."
"You have two months of vacation every summer."
"I need that long break. Teaching is hard work."
"I have a new boss at work. You'll never guess who he is."
"Who?"
"I'm thinking about quitting."
"Who is your new boss?"
"The bully from high school. His first day is next week."
"Are you really afraid of him?"
"No, but he can make my job very difficult."
"Have you ever thought about starting your own company?"
"Do I work for myself in your dream?"
"Yes."
"I have been thinking about starting my own company when I finish graduate school."
"We've changed so many things."
"How about we change our scenery."
"What?"
"Let's move to Vermont. We can raise our family there when I finish graduate school."
"Wow, I don't know about that."
"Maybe you will change your mind after our vacation."
