HILDA’S POVI drove away from the café and made my way toward the mall. The sun was high, and I felt good, euphoric even. Speaking my mind had kind of eased things a little for me.I had my favorite playlist on repeat, my favorite rap tracks filling the car as I sang along and made hand gestures. I felt good. I had found my dream house, and I didn’t let Lilian ruin my day. Today was mine, and it was going well.My phone rang, and I turned down the music.

There was no time to waste.Still, that was not the point.Someone had gotten access to his laptop and that bothered me.N

HILDA'S POVI was finally packing to my new house. I felt good. I twerked as I played Up by Cardi B loudly in the background. I felt really good today. I was meeting up with Adrian so we could go over to the house together and then we would go have brunch.It was a really good day and I refused to let anything ruin my mood.
