Emersyn sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee as she looked over legal briefs and other documents. In the background, she heard the rest of the family starting to stir in their various rooms, her daughter was the first one out and curled up next to Emersyn and laid her head on her lap “Mommy do I have to go to school today. I want to stay with Daddy and Bubby”. She whined.

Emersyn leaned down “Now we talked about this my love, you have to go to school to continue learning and getting smarter.” She said “Bubby and Daddy will pick you up after school and I think that Daddy might be taking you to an ice cream shop in the commercial district.” She added “Now, I need you to go get dressed and come eat breakfast.” She said gently pushing her daughter off the sofa to get ready.
