You woke up early in the morning, sitting up and stretching. You looked over and saw that Cordell was already up, probably already headed to work. You got ready for work and walked downstairs and saw Stella and August, your step children.

“You two are up early.” you said, musing aloud

“August needed help on a project.” Stella said

“Your dad already headed off to work?” you asked, grabbing your coffee cup, mentally preparing for a long day at work

“Fun fact, I have no idea.” Stella said

“Perfect.” You said, grabbing your stuff to leave

“You driving yourself to school?” you asked Stella as she nodded “ok, then I’ll see you later?” You said as you walked to your vehicle and climbed in, setting your phone next to you in the seat, when about 20 minutes later, you got a call from Cordell
