Chapter 51

• AVA's POV.
• My legs clasped tightly together while I bit restlessly against my finger. A week had passed since I had that conversation with the young lady, who had explained the truth to me.
• Maria had been job hunting the entire week, but I knew she would return home soon. But while all those things happened, my mind remained clouded while I thought hard and fast about what decision I could make; none came on so far. I was rendered as wrecked as I believed I could be. It broke me; there had been no escape route or solution of any sort.
