"I don’t even have the money to leave here right now. What if you were kicking me out? What then?"
I let out a short, bitter laugh.
"It just seems like... I thought my mom was stupid, but she was kind of right." I shake my head. "I should have been smarter. I should have been better. Maybe if she and I had been closer, I would have gotten pointers, but I didn’t. And now I just feel—Stupid"
I nod.
"No, Mina. You’re not stupid, okay? You’re not stupid."Emmerson says strongly as if he could wish the words away.
