When Elizabeth Wakefield returned home, the phone was ringing. She quickly went to answer it. "Hello, this is the Wakefield residence" and in return she was greeted by "Hey Liz!" It was Conner McDermott's voice and she melted at its sound. "Wanna go to Italy with me?"
Please? Could I please go with Conner to Italy? You even said yourself I needed a break. Please?"
"Oh, I don't know honey" was her reply from her mother. "I know you're eighteen and considered an adult, but you'll be so far away and I won't know what will happen to you."
"Yeah, Elizabeth. Don't go. Besides I'll miss you, we'll all miss you." Jessica supported her mother.
"But mom, please?"
Everyone was so absorbed into the issue, they didn't hear the door unlock
"Alice, I think we should let Elizabeth go." This opinion came from Ned Wakefield, Elizabeth's father. "You have said she was very stressed out by her school work and needed a break. What better way for her to relax than let her go to the place she's always wanted to go?"
"Oh I suppose you're right. I'm sorry Elizabeth, I should've let you go the first second you mentioned it. When are you leaving?"
"Conner and I are going to leave tomorrow morning. Are you sure mother?"
"Of course."
For the rest of the day, Elizabeth was so happy she was glowing. Even though Mrs. Wakefield was still a little worried, she didn't regret her decision when she saw her. But Jessica took the decision differently. She was angry and didn't speak to anyone but no one noticed.
