“My mom is selling the house,” I blurted.
“What??” Nan gasped. “Why would she do that? She loves that house. Her and your father worked hard in the beginning to get to that house. She always used to tell us stories about it.”
“I know,” I told her, closing my eyes. “But somehow, thans‘ parents convinced her to sell the house and move in with them until she’s back on her feet.”
“Those conniving assholes,” she hissed. “They did this on purpose!”
“I’m well aware,” I murmured, rolling my eyes at the very thought.
“So, what are you going to do?” Nan asked. “You can’t live there. Is your mother that gullible?”

“I can’t live there, Nan,” I told her, dropping my voice even lower. “My mother is adamant about it and even said if I’m not on board, then I can find somewhere else to live.”
