 I opened up the internet tab and typed in hotel in the search box. A lot of hotels popped

up; I search through them for 20 minutes until I heard Cassandra wake up and say

mommy. I went to her and picked her up and took her to her room to change into her

daily clothes. Lucas was already in there packing her stuff; he left a pair of clothes on her

bed for me to change her. “Mommy what is daddy doing” you could see the smile on

Lucas’s face. He started talking before I got a chance. “Baby you, mommy, and daddy are

going to go away for a while ok?” “We are going somewhere? What about gamma?”

“Grandma is going to stay here baby” I say to her while I am dressing her. “Lucas I found a

hotel for us to stay in for a while until we find a place.” I looked at Lucas; he nods and

continues to put clothes in the suit cases. “After we finish packing we should have your

mom to take us up to a car lot and get a car that no one knows.” Lucas tells me as I leave

the room to go pack my things. I agreed with him and soon we were on our way to the car

lot. We picked out a 4 door blue car. It has 5 seats and a big trunk for us to put all of our

stuff in. We put the car seat in the back and Lucas climbs in the driver’s side as I climb in to

the passengers. Soon we left there and we were on our way; after about 2 hours of driving

we stop to get something to eat and drink. Then we were on our way again. We drove for

9 hours; When we got to the hotel I texted Matthew and told him we left town and if he

needed to talk to me to call. I also told him I am sorry I didn’t get to meet his girlfriend. He

replied right away asking why and why didn’t I tell him sooner. But I didn’t reply back right

away; Lucas came back shortly after he left and showed me the room key. We carried

some clothes to the room; I grabbed my laptop as well. After about 20 minutes I replied to

his message; I told him that I can’t text him the reason and I would call him later. He

replied with a k. We stayed in the hotel for about a week as we looked in the newspapers

and around town. We finally found a house we liked so we bought it; when we finally got

to the house we had just bought, it was a white 2 story house with a fence around it. It

had 5 bedrooms, I know that we only need a 3 bedroom but I figured we needed guest

rooms. I roamed around the house I first looked at the living room. The walls were a light

crème color; all the floors are wood. The room was empty right now because we haven’t

had a chance to get furniture or anything. Next, I went to the dining room it was a light

beige color. Then, I went to the kitchen it was a light purple with stainless steel appliances

like at my old house. Soon I went upstairs and I walked into a room; when I went in I fell in

love. This room was big but not to big; I had a walk in closet and a room was blue and
