Love Beyond Reach

"Mom, Dad, I agree to study abroad." Saoirse Madden's parents sound relieved when they hear she's finally given in."We're so glad you've finally seen sense, Saoirse. At least we don't have to worry about you anymore! Take this time to prepare to leave the country, okay? Your father and I will make all the arrangements; we'll be reunited in about a month."Saoirse's tone is much calmer compared to her parents' excitement. "Got it."She hangs up after chatting a bit more. It's dark outside, but she doesn't have any lights on. Her slightly reddened eyes are almost devoid of emotion.
