1030 A quote from parenting 101

[FLASHBACK]

"I guess this is where we part?" Ivy sat on the edge of the bed, facing the bed next to hers where Tiger sat. She weakly played with her trembling fingertips, eyes down, a bitter smile on her face. "Axel said he's going to take me home and Dominic reassured me I'd be safe. Thankfully, Axel had been looking after the company. But he told me I have to expect a mountain of workload."

Tiger nodded, letting out a short hum.

"I'll be busy," she said, smiling as she raised her head. "I can imagine the workload waiting for me at home. God. The thought of pulling all-nighters scares me."

"Mhm."

"Whenever I work, I tend to forget things," she continued. "My problems, my pain, and even what makes me happy. Everything always feels blank, so people always call me a workaholic. But well, not really, because I always look like a slacker compared to Dom."
