Chapter 7: An unexpected stranger
---
Today is different for Edward. And the reason for this? No summer classes, no errands at the supermarket and no cleaning around the house.
Today, he's ... "staying over at my dad's for the weekend, so I can't come to Disneyland, Yusuf," Edward says, tossing clothes into a duffel bag.
"Damn. And these two Latina baddies really wanted to hang with us," Yusuf groans over the phone.
"No, not hang with us—hang with you. I don't even know them," Edward replies, rolling his eyes.
"You sure you won't ditch your dad and come? It's freakin' Disneyland, man."
"Dude, that's my dad. I'll talk to you later."
"Your loss, dude."
Click.

"Edward! Come downstairs now—I have to be at work early!"Jennifer shouts from the living room.
