Sandra's povI picked up my phone, 20 missed calls and 10 messages in the last half hour, my heart prickled and I tossed the phone on the bed.

Margaret brought two slices of chocolate cake, and I sighed softly as memories flooded my mind.“You remembered,” I said almost absent-mindedly, drawing invisible circles on the bed sheet. She came over wearing a tender expression.“How could I forget?” She sat next to me, “You always had an extra stomach for chocolate cake no matter how full you were, I was hoping that I could bribe you into eating something,” I stared at the homemade chocolate cake, then slowly stretched my hand forward to pick up one of them and bite into it ignoring the fork.“It tastes good,” I said, trying not to cry.
