After I struggled to hold back from crying, which I had been doing a lot these days, Grace managed to convince me to go back to the cafe with her. “So… how about Naomi and Leah?” I asked, not just because I was trying to shift the conversation from me, but because I was curious about the women I used to call my friends. “Leah left the country to manage her mother's farm a year after graduation”, Grace answered.

No! Alicia's eyes turned even colder toward me, making veiled jabs with her words. "What's the matter? Is someone jealous seeing other people being pregnant while she's infertile herself?" The tension at the table was thick. Mabel stood up with teary eyes. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault. Please don't fight because of me. I'll just leave."

"I pay for everything you eat, wear, and use. And now you're kicking me out?" He didn't hesitate to nod. "That's because you upset Mom and made her angry!
