A month passed quickly, and I arrived at the registry office at the agreed-upon time.
After waiting for what seemed like forever, Garrison finally showed up, but he immediately fell to his knees before me: "Faye, please, I'm begging you, give me a chance to survive."
Only after hearing him out did I realize that he and Vivienne had indeed ended up together.
But with both of them jobless and without any income, he remembered his old boss who had once valued him highly. He wanted me to go with our daughter to make a plea.
"You know how sentimental he is. If you just help me out and tell him our family's struggling, he'll definitely find a way to get me another job."
"You know she's pregnant, we can't manage without money. Please, I'm begging you!"
"That boss knows you. If you and our daughter just show up and ask for his help, he'll surely find me another job!"
Fighting the disgust welling up inside me, I slapped him hard across the face. "You're not even human!"
