Chapter 3

Back at home in Harmony, Ivy was furious that her son was keeping himself away from his family. Ivy was at the Crane Mansion's living room having a drink. Fancy came in and saw her mother mumbling to herself about Fox.

"You shouldn't let anybody see you talk to yourself. Some people might think you're plotting." Fancy joked.

Ivy looks up to Fancy's statement.

"I am not plotting sweetie. I am merely...worried that Fox has thrown himself into work."

"Are you sure? Because you have that look on your face."

Ivy asked, "What look?"

Fancy kind of shrugged and said, "I don't know...it's just...that look. I've seen it before."

"I doubt you have. This look is frustration for you brother Fancy. I'm worried about him."

"I know mother. We just have to give Fox some time." Fancy answered.

Ivy started circling the room. "Even after they were broken up, that Kay still has a hold on him. I just don't know how she does it."

"They were in love."

Ivy stopped circling around and places her drink down. "Yes...it wasn't much of one."

Fancy replied as she sat down, "What are you talking about? Fox and Kay were madly in love. Everybody could see it. She made Fox happy. He made her happy. They were...unbelievable together, mother. I do not know what you saw but...you're wrong. They were made for each other."

"Then why did he break up with her?" Ivy stands close to Fancy.

Fancy shrugged and said, "Fox never talked about it."

"Maybe he will tell me." Fancy scoffed. Ivy asked, "What?"

Fancy stood up. "I really thought he would tell you about his love life." Fancy left the room.

Ivy said to herself, "He will tell me...he is my son."

Fox was busy packing up when his phone rang. He quickly grabbed his phone.

"Hello? Fox Crane- Oh. Hi. Mr. Bello. Yes. Can you tell the boss man that...I'm taking a leave of absent...?"

That line transferred to a memory Fox had.

"...I'm taking a leave of absent." Fox said to Kay who was in bed. Fox leaned over to Kay.

Kay was surprised. "Wow...Why a leave of absent?"

Fox shrugs. "I guess...I want to spend time with my favorite girl." He kisses her softly on the lips. Kay smiles.

"I'm your favorite girl now?" Kay asked. They kissed again when Fox nodded. "I feel all special." Fox chuckles.

"You are really lucky."

Kay disagreed, "Yes I am. I have the most wonderful man I can ask for."

"And I have the most beaut-"

Fox snapped from the memory. He heard Mr. Bello try to get his attention.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I drifted there for a second. So yeah. I have to take care of something personal. Yeah. Thanks. Bye." Fox hangs up. Fox sighs. He glances at the time and realizes there is three hours till his plane home. He started packing faster.

I know this is a shorter chapter then I planned it to be. (To me at least as a little short) I couldn't think of anything to write for this chapter. I'm hoping my next chapter would be a little longer. Please comment. Would really appreciate your criticism.
