Megan raised an eyebrow. “Mom? What are you talking about?”
“Carrie will be going to live with Jessica and her beau for the remainder of the summer.”
Megan scoffed. “You’re kidding, right? Carrie hates Ricard.”
“Well, apparently she hates the idea of parental authority even more. It was mutually agreed upon. Besides, if my eldest daughter has any illusions about being a mother, its about time she gathers some practical experience. Don’t you think?”
Megan was too stunned for words. She promptly went to her sister’s room for further explanation. Carrie was remarkably nonchalant about the matter.
“Just what they said,” she told her. “I’m going to stay with Jess and Ricard for the rest of the summer.”
“And you’re happy about that?!” Megan asked.
