Weekend Plans

Nova resting in his cardboard box with the words Weekend Plans

I've secured a comfortable spot for the weekend. It's private, conveniently located near the kitchen, and most importantly, there's no room for guests.

I'm looking forward to having some time to myself.

My siblings will undoubtedly try to visit. My bigger concern is Mom. She has a habit of checking on me when there's absolutely no need.

I turned two in October. I'm an adult now, and I think it's time she started treating me like one.

I Have Questions About Nova’s Weekend Plans.

First, why does Nova get his own place for the weekend?

Won't he miss me?

Who approved this? Was there a family meeting? Why wasn't I consulted?

Meanwhile, here I am with our mother, Nassim. Why does Nova think Mom shouldn't stop in and invade his space? Does it look like she gives us any?

How is Nova acquiring real estate? Does he have a job I don't know about? Is Mom helping him?

I'll be discussing this with my other siblings. We need to confront Mom.

We need answers.
