16
As evening approached, Evelyn busied herself with preparations to move them out of the Stone Palace Hotel to some other Hotel away from Derek.
She doubted that by going to check out apartments over the weekend she would be able to move immediately into one, so it was better they moved to a different hotel for the time being. Samantha watched her curiously as she packed their bags, sensing the change but not understanding it.
Evelyn tried to keep things light, but the tension was palpable.
"Mommy, are we traveling again?" Samantha asked after watching for some time.
"No, darling. We are not traveling. Tomorrow Mommy is going to move you to a more comfortable place," Evelyn said, flashing her a smile.
"But I like it here. Aunt Maya likes it too," Samantha protested, and Evelyn paused to look at her.
"I'm sure you do, pumpkin, but doesn't mommy's feelings count too?" Evelyn asked with a playful pout and Samantha sighed.
"Will the new place have a playground?" She asked hopefully.
"I'm sorry, darling, I don't think so, Evelyn admitted since she had a policy of not lying to her daughter.
Samantha's face fell, breaking Evelyn's heart. Evelyn reached out a hand to her and when Samantha took it, she drew her to sit on her lap, "We won't be there for long, I promise. And once we move to our own place, I will make sure you can visit the nearest parks often and we can even go to the amusement park together," Evelyn promised.
Samantha looked up into her face, "Before then, can I go play at the playground?"
"No..."
