When Callie and Jill arrived home, they were greeted by Sophia who wanted to hear everything about her sister's first day in the music school.
"So, how was it? Did you meet anybody? Spill!" she demanded as they entered the living room
"Sophie, give her a break, she must be exhausted" Robert said to his younger daughter as he stood up from his chair in the living room.
"hey my sweet baby girl, how was that fancy school of music?" he said to Callie as he kissed the top of her hair.
"Mmm, it was quite boring, nothing special" she said uninterested as she was gonna walk towards the stair to her room.
"I'm gonna get change, be back when dinner is ready" she said kissing her dad's cheek
"Wait up sis, i'm coming with you" Sophia said, almost running after her sister.
"So, how was your day Robert?" Jill asked as she takes two glasses from the bar and filled them with liquor as Robert took his place back in the armchair.
"It was quite uneventful, dad and i talk about the car accident this afternoon" he said, accepting the glass Jill was offering
"I thought it was a close case" she said surprised, taking her place next to him.
"Yes it is close, don't worry" he said putting a hand on her knee to reassure her as he noticed how worked up she was.
"If it was already close, then why did you and Max talk about it?" she question him, quite confused.
"It was Donald" he said taking a deal breath then taking a sip of his bourbon.
Jill was confused, they didn't know anyone named Donald, seeing her confused face Robert explained "Donald Jacobs, Coleen's new husband, the one we paid a long time ago, you know, to make sure Callie would stay here with us"
"OK" she said uncertain, "…so, now that he is in prison" she said, taking a pause before going on, avoiding Robert's eyes "…are you and Max afraid that she might came and get Callie?" she asked afraid of his answer as she didn't said Coleen's name because she just couldn't deal with losing Callie to another woman, especially not Robert's ex and Callie's real mom; No she was her mom, she loved this family too much for that woman to just swing right back.
"No, that's not possible because she lost her life in the same accident mom and Callie were, she was one of the 4 dead victims" he said taking a sip from his glass.
Jill was relief of the news; No more threat were to came as the woman she was most afraid and jealous of, was now forever gone; she staid silent for a few minutes till she change subject.
"I don't like Callie going in that school Robert, even if is one of the best" she said finally looking at him.
"Look Jill i understand that your worried about her, but she is too introvert, i believe that it's for her best interest to meet new people, new friends that might not come from our circle of friends so that she learn to open up more" he said with a sigh "Besides, she can't always be looked up here, i want our daughter to be stimulated and see all those other kids who are talented like her, maybe even compete" he finished, taking another sip of his bourbon.
"I know that, but i was taking to Callie earlier in the car, she didn't seam to like it that much" she said to him as she stood up to refill her glass
"It was only her first day, i'm sure she'll like it, the counselor said that the kids play a lot especially for competition or plays" he said quite excited, putting down his glass in the near table.
Meanwhile in Callie's room.
"So tell me, how was that music school dad sign you in, is it as cool as i heard?" Sophia asked as she jumped on the bed
"Well it's ok i guess, nothing too special about it" Callie responded as she put down her bag next to her table
"Well, that's not how i immagine you answer that question, so ok, what els can you tell me about your day in the music school?" S kept asking, looking at her sister from the bed as Callie was picking up something to change into
"Well i met a guy who also play the piano and we became friends" she said with nonchalance as she walk toward her bathroom to change
"WHAT!" Sophia exclaimed, she stood up and run after her sister as she close the door "oh canon Callie, you can't leave me like this, that is a juicy story, i want to know the details!" she said bagging the door
"Will you calm down?" Callie said a few minutes later as she opened the door to get out
"No, i want to know, so share!" Sophia demanded as she sat on the bed again
"There is nothing to tell, he is a pianist who has brown hairs and green eyes. He play a lot especially for competition and we became friends because he saw me out of place once i entered that school this afternoon, happy?" Callie said looking at her little sister
"He sounds cute!" she exclaim
"S, stop it's just a boy i met at a school i'm not so sure i want to attend" Callie said
"What do you mean you don't know if you still want to go?!" S asked her
"Well, i don't think it really suit me that place, i prefer tranquillity, playing alone, and there, it's so full of strangers" she said
"You know what i think? I believe that your just afraid, don't be a chicken, who knows, you might actually enjoy it if you really give that school a try and the people there a chance. You spent too much time with us, with your camera, I believe this new environment will open you to a different word that's totally different from ours. Give that Brandon a chance to at the very least be your friend, who knows, maybe from there he could be your first BF, or first Kiss… how excited does it sound?" S ranted to her sister who was thinking a lot about what Sophia said.
As she was to answer her little sister, somebody knocked on the door.
"Open" the two girls said, as a maid came into the view;
"Ladies, your parents are waiting in the dinning room" she said with a smile, inviting them to follow her downstairs.
As the two girl joined their parents in the dinning room, another family in Anchor Beach was welcoming their new member to their family, their home.
Dinners at the Quinn's was always like a matter of the state, like every family who matters in society, even if was just a dinner for four, there was a dress code, the table setting was like a magazine cover, the food like it came from the most rewarded restaurant.
"So Callie, your mother told me about her concern on your new music school, are you really that uncomfortable over there?" Robert asked as the main course was served
"Well, to tell you the truth dad, i so wanted to talk to you and convinced you to get me a private teacher aging, but then as Sophie and i were talking upstair i realize that i wasn't fair today, i should at least spend more time before making up my mind, so mom, don't worry, i'm sure i'll be fine" she said to her parents as she ate her dinner.
"Well, i'm glad you want to give that school a try" he said quite happy.
"Are you sure baby?" Jill asked, not so convinced by Callie's explanation.
"Mom, come on, if she wants to give it a try, let her, i believe it's awesome for her to try it out" Sophia said cutting off her mother from saying something else to change her sister's mind.
"What about you S, how was your horse riding class?" Callie said, changing subject as the atmosphere in the room was becoming unpleasant.
"Oh, same old, nothing new, exempt that i miss not having my big sis there anymore" she responded, after taking a sip of water.
"Why, there are new mean girls bullying you?" Callie asked surprise
"What bullies, Sophie, tell mommy and daddy if there are problems in there" Jill said worried
"Calm down people, i'm fine, no there are no bullies there, i've got no problem exempt a few new show off girl from Texas who has ego problems"
"Ok, as long as you tell me, tell us if you got any problems, ok baby girl?" Robert asked concerned
"Yes daddy" Sophia responded with a smile.
The conversation after that was about everybody's day, about everything and nothing at the same time as they finished their dinner.
