Chapter 10

Normani

To celebrate my graduation, we decided to have lunch at a very fancy and expensive restaurant.

When we stepped in, the hostess was already leading us to a table in the left corner, giving us a perfect view. We got seated and ordered our drinks first, then food. I ordered a chicken salad, Stephanie ordered a shrimp salad, Aunt Sera got soup, and Aunt Amelia and Uncle Carson ordered steaks, saying they were hungry.

“So many, Steph, to us you plan on going for a short vacation. Do you have a place in mind?” Aunt Amelia asked.

“I still don’t know where I’m going; I haven’t decided yet. Now that I’ve graduated, I figured I’d pack up and go on a short trip. You know, enjoy the things I couldn’t, even if it’s for a short while.” I replied.

“I understand, dear, and you need it. If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to call.” Uncle Carson said, and I nodded in response.

“Same here, Mani. Do keep in touch and visit.” My aunt Sera said.
