Gifts from my Father

I came home later than normal that night. Technically my curfew was 9:00 PM, but Mom said that I could stay out as long as I wanted. Which I appreciated, because it meant I wouldn't be in trouble, since I was staying out late no matter what she said. The last thing I wanted was to come home early and see my Dad packing up his things. Their divorce was hard enough, I didn't need the fact that my dad was moving across the country thrown in my face. So I stayed away.
