Jessica, Melanie's older sister, had been listening to the conversation from her other room. It's not that she was nosy, but she enjoyed drama. On TV, at school, in her personal life, you name it. It just amused her.
It was at this point that she took the moment of silence to stroll through the kitchen to grab a snack before dropping, "Well she sure sounded fine in Mel's room last night. They weren't very quiet." She then hummed to herself and wandered back off elsewhere in the house to listen to the fallout.
"That's great," Steve said, "Is she ready to go, then? She's going to have to start summer school here soon..."
Mel pursed her lips trying to figure out how to break it to Nicole's dad. With a sigh, she blurted out the truth: "Nicole... She just wasn't ready for the outside world. She didn't feel comfortable out here."
Steve tapped his fingers on the table, trying to figure out a plan.
Jackie looked at Steve and offered up, as bluntly as she could, "You know, Steve, if things are.. opening up again, it's only a matter of time before it gets rather messy for your daughter. Maybe she'll change her mind once things are more.. active."
She turned to look at Melanie and told her, "Don't forget to pack some supplies in your purse."
Steve's frustration was showing, but he thanked Melanie for cooperating. Mel offered a simple note of, "Uh, she took her new phone with her and that crank-charger thing you dropped off." He nodded before dismissing Mel. She stood up and caressed her exposed midriff mindlessly before she continued getting ready for her trip the pool with Jessica and Jason.
Steve turned to Jackie, "Thanks for having me, I suppose I'll be in touch." He excused himself and the two stood up. Steve made his way back out to his car, sat in the driver's seat and closed the door before closing his eyes in thought.
