Jade perked up when her Uncle mentioned the two of them hanging out, grinning widely at the thought of spending so much time with him. "We're basically doing him a favour, mom," She said teasingly. "I mean, come on, I'm priceless." The words made Isabelle laugh. Jade walked over to her and gave her a tight hug; she knew her mom was having a hard time letting go.<br/><br/>After she pulled away she hugged her dad, not all that sad about saying goodbye because they would see each other over the breaks and probably Skype a few times a week. Knowing her mom, she wouldn't go two days without hearing from them.<br/><br/>"Alright, I think we're going to go. I'm sorry the visit was so short. I promise we'll come visit soon. Thank you for the water," Isabelle said, pulling her brother into another hug, this time much tighter.<br/><br/>George stepped forward and extended his hand out for Jake. "It was good to see you again. Take care."<br/><br/>Jade walked her parents to the front door and opened it for them. Her mom reminded her about respecting Jake's house, her dad warned her about college boys, and they both hugged her one last time. "Alright, have a safe trip back, you guys!" She stayed in the doorway up until they drove away, then she closed the door and turned to Jake.<br/><br/>"And then there were two," She said playfully, finally taking her shoes off. "I know my mom already said it, but it really means a lot that you're letting me crash here for the school year. I'm going to pick up a job as soon as I can, so if you want me to pay rent or pitch in, it's not a problem."
