Tegan POV

I sat in the back of my mom's shop, crying. My mother is dead. She's dead. It doesn't seem real. My father and Aunt Mal and Uncle Ben are fighting over who gets custody. I hope Aunt Mal and Uncle Ben gets custody of us. I don't want to live with my deadbeat father. Just then, Vanessa walked in.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey." I said.

Vanessa said in the chair next to me.

"I'm sorry about your mom." She said.

"It's okay." I said.

"I'm taking over the shop if it makes you feel better." Vanessa said.

"You're not going to change the name, Are you?" I asked.

"No. This place will always be Evie's boutique. However, I will need somebody to sew clothes and help me run this place. And since you know how to sew and you are the former owners daughter, I would be honored if you helped me run this place." Vanessa said.

"I would love to!" I said, Jumping out of my chair.

Vanessa laughed.

"Wait, can Sophia help too?" I asked.

"Of course!" Vanessa said.

"Yey!" I said.
