  “And when I got my first job as a waitress in a bar, I thought things would get better but it didn’t. I became a homeless teenage pregnant girls and for sometimes I had to sleep secretly at the bar. I worked overtime and even went to night school because I had hoped that soon everything would fall into place for good. Through it all, the life I was carrying kept me going throughout those time.” Ivy said in a tight whisper as she wiped her tears.

  “And then after sometime of hardship everything had fallen right into place for Leroy and I.” Ivy sniffed as she breathed in and out.

  “And now..you are..saying I should go to where I never felt loved?” Ivy asked Ace a question but a response never came from him.

  Ace knew this woman’s life standing in front of him was fraught with anger towards her parents. Ivy waited for a response and somehow it felt like a heavy height had just been lifted off her shoulder.
