Four sentences, okay?

My stepmother demands that we leave Barcelona immediately to help her house train her puppy in Texas. As we arrive, she and my dad are getting ready to go on a road trip and they are fighting because she recently shaved her eyebrows off. Dan is there, too, and he is annoyed but sees the humor in the situation and he is happy to talk to us. He is cute and charming and seems so grown-up; when it occurs to me that seeing him is impossible, I resist the urge to ask any questions about his death because I am afraid he will disappear.
