Juan didn't press further. Whatever had happened and however it was resolved, it wasn't his place to interfere. He figured that sometimes, good things just take their time.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll head out." As he was about to leave, he added, "When Casper divorced you, didn't he give you a house? If things get tough, maybe you should move there. I'm worried the Snyders might not give up easily; they might cback when we least expect it, and it'd be a hassle if we're not around." Eliza was already thinking about moving. The house she got in the divorce was big and in a great neighborhood. But moving there would mean dealing with the cost of furnishing it, daily expenses, and homeowners association fees, which all added up to a lot of money. Casper had given her a significant amount of money, but she wanted to save it for her son, Brock, and not spend it on herself.

In Falconridge, she'd have to start everything from scratch, and she'd run into people she'd rather avoid and deal with a lot of annoying issues. "I'm thinking about moving back to Oak Falls." "Back to Oak Falls?" Juan knew Eliza had spent several years in Oak Falls and had only stayed in Falconridge because of Mikey's illness. Now that Mikey was gone and Robin was getting treatment in Oak Falls, it seemed like the best choice for her to return there. But...
"Don't rush your decision. Brock's just settled in. Moving him back to Oak Falls and changing schools again would be too much for him." Juan's advice made her pause. Casper must have given her that money hoping Brock would get the best education possible. She couldn't let Brock go back to Oak Falls and endure unnecessary bullying.
Even the preschools in Falconridge were among the best in the country. She decided she'd endure the hardship and travel more if needed.
"I'll think it over carefully." "Good." Eliza had another concern: letting Brock meet Casper, his father. She had talked to Casper about it, and he had agreed, but with Susan in the picture, she worried there might be trouble. Maybe she should wait. She could deal with it later.
When she had a moment, she went back to Oak Falls. Unexpectedly, she ran into Carlos. She thought he would have left the school by now.
"Ms. Valerie, you've finally cback to Oak Falls." Carlos greeted her warmly.
Eliza was taken aback, nodding slightly, "Sfamily stuff cup, so I took a long leave to sort things out." "That explains it." Carlos said, his familiar warm smile returning. "I heard you spent stin Falconridge." "Yes." "Did you... see... Casper there?" He asked, his meaning clear.
Was he still hung up on Casper? "Mr. Carlos, you know what he's like... I think it's best if you don't trouble yourself," Eliza said awkwardly, biting her lip. "He's engaged." "Is that so Carlos shrugged nonchalantly. "No worries. We can still be friends. In our circle, it's common to have friends who are married or have girlfriends" Eliza: ...

Eliza tried to understand but didn't want to delve deeper. She glanced at her watch, Mr. Carlos, I have spaperwork to do. I'll be off." "Alright."
She quickened her pace, walking through the teaching building towards the administration building. Just as she caught her breath, her phone rang in her pocket. Seeing the non the screen made her heart skip a beat. "Hello?" "You've returned to Oak Falls?" Casper's voice was clear and distinct on the other end.
Eliza slightly turned away, her gaze briefly meeting Carlos's direction before quickly looking away, "I'm planning to move back to Oak Falls." "Why?"
"My dad passed away, and I don't ગus, need to run around for his medical treatments anymore. Plus, my job is still there in Oak Falls, so moving back would make things easier."
