I shake my head.

"Why are you still with him?"

"He is nice, and he hasn't done anything to me, nana."

"Do you know how many people are nice out there, child? Will you date all of them?"

I roll my eyes.

"Do you know exactly what you want to do, or you don't know?"

"I don't. Well not really. I know me and Logan will end sometime, I'm just scared to do it. Nana he told me he loved me, and he has been so patient. I don't know about getting back together with them yet. It wasn't a possibility before, but now I am considering it…. I don't know."

She listens without jumping to answer. After a few moments, she takes my hand.

"Is that why you came home? To think?"

I nod.

"I could give you so much advice, but I have a feeling you already know what you need to do. So, take all your worries and put them in a box and come have dinner with your family. Take a few days for yourself and don’t think about it. Everything will be clearer."

"So, you aren’t going to give me advice?" I fold my lips in amusement.

"You don't want my advice, Susu," she says earnestly and I exhale loudly.

I let her pull me up and follow her downstairs after I drop my phone on the bed. This weekend is about my family. I’m forgetting them and trying to be present here. And she’s is right about one thing; I do already know what I am going to do.

We find my sister on her phone waiting for us at the dining table.

"Were you having senior conversations? Are you having woman problems, sister?"

"I miss when you still thought I was the coolest person to ever exist." I groan as I pull the seat next to her. I hug her from behind because I really missed the little rascal.

"Don't squeeze the baby," she says, and I chuckle.

I ruffle her head before I sit then start dishing our food.

"So, how is adult life?" Blue asks spooning a piece of yam.

"I am drowning in academic work. I thought we had a lot of work in high school, but it was nothing compared to this. Do you know that I have two assignments due next week as well as two tests?"

"Dang!" she says. "They do know you guys are supposed to be on break, right?"

"They don't care." I sigh.

"Maybe me and nana can help you?" She grins and Nana chuckles.

"You know I heard you can pretty much find anything on Google. So, we'll help you, Susu. Don't worry. Leave it to us," Nana says

My sister and I both laugh.

"Hey, why didn't you bring Logan so we can meet him?" Blue asks before she stuffs her mouth with a piece of meat.

My gaze finds nana and she grins, but says nothing.

"Because man's hot and I wouldn't have wanted to punch you in the face when you started drooling."

"Nana would have drooled too!"
