WITH THREE MID-MORNING CLASSES AND work, the next day goes by in a rush. Luckily, I don’t have any run-ins with Judd.

Once I hit the door to the apartment, all that is on my mind is soaking in a long, hot and relaxing bubble bath, with not a single care in the world.

I strip down slowly, too tired to move faster than a crawl. Sinking into the steamy water, I wave my arms around and cover my body with the soapy froth. As I slouch down further with my chin barely grazing the surface, I close my eyes and clear my mind. Tiny fizzes and pops lick at my skin as the bubbles start to dissolve.

When my eyes start to get heavy and my back starts to slowly slide down the slippery tub, dipping my mouth beneath the water, I decide it’s time to either get out or stop relaxing, so I don’t fall asleep.

Pivoting my body to the side, I lazily fold my arms along the cold edge of the bathtub and reach for my phone so I can call Mom. I need to check on Dad.

“Hello,” her voice warms my soul and makes me feel a sense of comfort that I haven’t felt in the last two days.

“Hi, Mom. What are you up to? How is Dad?”

“We just ate a bit ago so your Dad and I are getting ready to dive into a game of dice.”

I laugh as images of previous game nights with my parents dance in my head. Mom gets so competitive and of course, Dad armed with that information, always conveniently loses. It’s really quite humorous watching her strut around and brag about her win while Dad sits back and smiles. He would do just about anything to bring a smile to her face.

“That sounds like fun. Wish I was there. Is Abby out?”

I’m curious if my sister will swing by the party tonight. A part of me really wants her here for moral support.

“I told her to go out tonight. Seems like you girls have sacrificed so much of your time in the last few months and it really isn’t fair to you. You need to enjoy your lives, too.”

Her words surprise me. Doesn’t she know that she and Dad are our lives? We would be nothing without them.

“Mom, we want to be there. We do it because we love you both so much and we never look at it as a sacrifice,” I quickly correct her assumptions.

Mom laughs and I can almost see her waving her hand in the air as if I have embarrassed her.

“Oh honey, I know. Besides, this is a win-win for all of us. Your dad and I get a date night alone and you girls get to go enjoy yourselves.”

On that note, I think it’s time to wrap up this conversation. I don’t want to hear about my parents alone time, although it is cute that she refers to it as a date night.

“I guess I will let you go then, so you and Dad can enjoy your date,” I giggle into Mom’s ear.
