Emma Moves In

Chapter Fourteen

When they get back to the house, all three girls sneak upstairs to call Emma’s dad. He picks up the phone in the restaurant. At first, he sounds casual and lighthearted. When Emma asks him if they can talk seriously, he steps into another quieter room.

Emma blurts out that she read on Mom’s phone that he’s not coming. Dad reassures Emma that’s not true, and those words were said out of frustration. Harvest Moon hired a new temp chef, and then after that, Dad is leaving, no matter what. In fact, Dad already booked his plane ticket. Dad will be there by Seaview House’s grand opening!
