“It never seemed relevant to our recent conversations about buses and luxury cars,” I replied with a calm voice. My mother began talking about how proud they were and how we needed to go to an expensive dinner to celebrate.
“I actually have plans with the people who actually supported me during the last four years,” I told her firmly. Kaylee unexpectedly spoke up and asked if she could come to my party instead of going with our parents.
“I am tired of being the center of attention for doing nothing,” my sister confessed with a look of genuine regret. I told her she was more than welcome to join us, but I made it clear to my parents that they were not invited.
One year later, I am sitting in my new office overlooking the city and watching the world move below me. ChainVault is now a global leader in the industry, and my relationship with Kaylee has become a source of great joy.
