The phone call had rained on her parade when her life had just turned for the better.
Hesitant, but she still answered it.
"Hey, Eliza."
As ever, Raelyn's voice was gentle and sweet.
"Raelyn."
Raelyn's call stressed her out, gulping.
"Eliza, I miss you. It's been a while since I came back, but you've never come home. Dad had been too hasty then; please don't be mad at him."
Raelyn's gentle voice and words made Eliza feel like crying. She calmed herself down, not wanting her to learn of her situation, or she'd definitely be sad for her.
In actuality, she was also missing home a little. Even if her stepfather didn't treat her well, her sister and mother still loved her. Gracelynn as well; they had barely been in touch since she got married. She hadn't seen them in a long time…
Eliza felt a lump in her throat, trying her best not to cry, but Raelyn only continued speaking when she didn't hear Eliza respond on the other end of the line.
"Eliza, Mom misses you very much too. No matter how busy you are, you have to come home once in a while."
"I miss you guys too, Raelyn."
Sadness was overwhelming Eliza, making her hard to breathe; Raelyn's every word was hitting the weakest spot in her heart.
"Then, can you come back this weekend? We should spend some time together as a family."
Raelyn took the opportunity to invite her.
Eliza deliberated. It was a Friday that day, so the weekend would be the following day...
She hesitated, but she really missed her family.
"Okay."
Eliza promised; it'd be a good chance to meet up with Gracelynn as well.
But then... would Tanner let her leave…
"Okay, I'll have the chauffeur go to Gracelynn's place to pick you up tomorrow then."
There was joy in Raelyn's voice, but Eliza, on the other hand, didn't sound as happy.
Eliza was the one who stole her man and took her spot. She hadn't forgotten how her beloved little sister lied to her; if Eliza loved to act so much, she'd play along as well!
Wickedness flashed across Raelyn's eyes as she lolled on the sofa, playing with her hair.
Sure enough, Eliza became nervous at Raelyn's suggestion.
"No... It's okay, Raelyn. Things are a little different at Gracelynn's; I'll go back on my own."
Raelyn's lips quirked into a cold smile, but her tone was considerate as ever.
"Okay, come back as soon as you can. Travel safe."
"Okay, I will."
