Rachel showed evident disdain for her past lover.
Elisa brushed her hair back to collect herself.
She knew Rachel meant well, but her father probably told her to say that.
Rachel sneered, “You have such a twisted sense about men. Guard your heart, Elisa Benett.”
She looked over to the woman who was lost deep in her thoughts.
Rachel declared, “Men are such dogs.” She lit her cigarette, “Why not we make a pact? If we don’t get
married by our forties, let’s get married and adopt some youngins. At least we’ll be happy in our
retirement.”
Elisa chuckled, “You and your stupid ideas. I love it.”
“Why did you agree to that quickly? Hah.” Rachel brushed away the cigarette ash, “There’s still hope

for you yet, but me? I want to enjoy my life. Maybe hook up with as many hotties as I can before that
happens.”
“Since when were you such a tramp,” she smiled.
“Hey, a girl got to have fun,” Rachel snickered. “although I haven’t had that kind of thing with a man,

Rachel resumed scrolling Twitter with a childish grin.

She saw Linda sitting on the bed alone at this time, clutching a bowl of porridge in her hand. She

With a spoon by her lips, Linda turned away. “I won’t. Stop.”
Rose sighed, “Linda…”
“Stop it all right! I won’t eat!”
Noticing her unstable mood, her mother consoled, “All right, all right, let’s skip that.” She sat beside her
daughter, “Then let’s talk.”
Linda turned away and covered herself with the blanket.
Rose could hear her muffled voice, “I want to be alone. Go away.”
Her mother grew silent.
She sighed and said nothing.

Rose once again grabbed up her phone in a hopeful attempt to check the news.
She had previously switched off her cell phone so as not to disturb her daughter at this time.
She promptly muted the phone after discovering that there were several headlines being displayed.
The mother glanced through the comments being read.
Those Wickams! Unforgivable!
Rose was so furious that her face was crimson, but she was worried that her daughter would learn
about the situation as well. She immediately got up, took her daughter’s phone away, and quietly
stated, ” Linda, you can go to bed now that you want to be alone. If you need anything, ring the bell at
your nightstand.”
Rose stood by the bed and stared at Linda for a bit before leaving when she didn’t answer.
She picked up her cell phone when it buzzed again. Her husband was calling.
Norman was yelling on the line. He cried, “The police just called me! They’re about to arrest me!”
