Veronica’s POVI washed my hands. The door opened. I looked at the mirror and checked who entered. A smile formed on my lips when I saw it was my dear sister. She looked at me in the mirror, then walked to the sink and washed her hands. I closed the faucet and reached for the tissue. “How was
“Mommy, I’m hungry,” he shyly mumbled. I looked at him. He was pouting, and he really looked hungry. I flashed a smile. “Okay, baby, just one last picture, promise,” I said. He nodded. I came to the woman. “Thank you very much again,” I told her and flashed a smile. “You're welcome. Enjoy Rom
