A family portrait!
The family is all grown up
Abricot filled out his request for University and was accepted. He is getting ready to leave.
Citronelle is at work, but Canari and Alezan went down to see Abricot leave in a taxi. Alezan feels miserable. He’s wondering how he can live alone with his parents!
Abricot leaves without a second thought. He is only looking forward to meeting some new people.
Citronelle comes back from work and goes into her son’s bedroom. It’s true, he’s really gone... the apartment feels suddenly very empty.
Abricot decided to live in a dorm. This is the one he was assigned to.
"Wow! Having my own room is great. Not sure mom would have approved of the decoration. She might say it was too distracting..."
Things are looking good. The first guy Abricot met laughed so hard at his not so funny joke, no conversation was possible. And then the guy left for class.
But then, Abricot met this... fantasy creature and he had no more jokes to tell.... her name is Teresa.
Back at home, Alezan is having a very quiet breakfast with his parents.
Canari started writing a blog about science.
When he gets in the zone, he can forget about the kids growing up and his own birthday coming soon.
Alezan took a job and is doing very well. He is getting a good experience that should help him when he starts as an architect after university.
Don’t you love that costume in the gaming career?
It’s Canari’s birthday. He casts a loving look at Citronelle. Will she still love him when he is old?
“I wish my beautiful wife still loves me in my old age...” blows candles.
“Well, that’s not as bad as I was afraid it might be...”
Alezan really is an achiever. He has received 8000§ in scholarships.
Citronelle reached the zone while practicing at the barre.
Alezan got accepted at University. It’s his last breakfast at home. Canari congratulates his son for all his achievements in gaining skills.
Looks like Citronelle and Canari are not as miserable as when Abricot left...
“Now that both kids are away at school, we have the apartment to ourselves and we can do whatever we feel like honey...”
Canari is looking on the internet to find a good travel agency
“Our passports are in order. We’re ready to go...”
Leaving home...
Citronelle is so happy for this distraction
The taxi will take them to the airport where they will take a plane to...
That’s in the next update...
