Theme: I Love You!
MONDAY MORNING
GOLDMYNES MODELLING AGENCY
“Where is my desk?” Ephyra asked Harry. The room where her desk used to be was now empty.
“You are not staying in that office anymore” Harry said
“Why?” She asked
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down the long hallway leading to several offices.
“Where are we going?” She asked
He stopped
“Questions again…don’t you get tired of asking questions”
He leaned in closely but Ephyra stepped backward. He did it again and she moved away
“Someone’s coming” she said
Harry studied her.
“Let’s go” he ordered
Two female models appeared in the hallway and they greeted him. He returned the greetings and walked off. Ephyra followed him.
“Boss you haven’t told me where…”
He stopped in front of a door.
“Ummm…” He opened the door and gestured to her to go in.
“Me? Why should I go in first?” She asked
Harry rolled his eyes
“No questions” he pushed her into the room and closed the door.
Ephyra gasped in shock. The room was large and well decorated.
“This is our new office” Harry informed
She glanced around the large room. A big desk and swivel chair with Harry’s name in a glassy object.
“Harry Jones: CEO of G.M.A” on the right side there was another desk and chair with her name in the same object. “Ephyra Adams: Secretary”
“Our office?” She repeated
“Yes..that’s your desk” he pointed
“But..but why are we sharing the same office?” She asked
Harry scratched his ear as he thought of what to say to her. He had arranged it like that so he won’t be far away from her. He wanted to see her always..just sitting and watching her closely.
“Your previous secretary was staying in another room” she countered
Harry went to his desk.
“Its a new system…CEO and Secretary must stay in the same room” He said
Ephyra lifted her eyebrows.
“Why?”
“For..safety..” He said
“Safety? It not as if I’m your bodyguard” Ephyra muttered
“Pardon?”
“Huh?..nothing I was just…talking to myself…” Her voice trailed and she avoided his gaze.
“You don’t like your desk? I can have them change it to your taste”
Harry sat in his chair. Ephyra went to her desk.
“I like it…I mean it nice…” She stuttered
She sat back in her chair and clicked on the system on her desk.
“Press that remote” he pointed to a black device on her desk.
“Press the red button” he said.
She picked it up and did as he ordered. The Tv in the room which she hasn’t noticed came on.
“You can see anyone outside through the Tv”
“Wow…” She whispered
“When did you set up this whole place?”
“Over the weekend”
“Oh! So those times you were leaving home to see a clothe designer..you were actually busy here too”
“I met with the Clothe designer Ria Robert and at the same time I was working with the decorators”
“Ria Robert”
“Yes she’s a famous designer. You can check her out on the system. There are other designers too, Brian Clothing, Bella Fashion House..etc”
Ephyra focused on her system.
“Password 5202” he said
She entered it and it unlocked the system.
“She’s the first on the list…I mean Ria Robert Couture”
“Yes that is because we are working on a project together. I’ll tell you about the project later”
“Okay…”
She kept checking the list on the system.
“I’ll send my schedules to your system”
“Okay”
He clicked on his system and sent the files to her system.
“Got it!”
She said
Harry relaxed in his chair.
He wondered why he was reacting to her being there with him. He’d no idea why Ephyra affected him strongly. He found himself smiling as he watched her.
*****♦*****♦*****
It was time to head home after a long day at work.
“Let’s have dinner before heading home” Harry said
“I don’t think that’s a good idea Boss”
“Why?”
“We can have dinner at home instead of dropping by at a restaurant”
She picked up her handbag on the desk. Harry went to her.
“You don’t want to go out with me right?” He asked
Ephyra was silent
She wasn’t interested in going out with Harry to avoid gossips flying around the office. Everyone was already whispering behind her back. They were surprised by Harry’s decision of having his secretary in the same room with him. So they got to thinking “there was something fishy between them”.
Harry studied her expression.
“I’ll understand if you don’t want to go out with me”
Harry said in a low tone. He started the walk to the door.
“Wait..”
She went to him
“Don’t misunderstand me”
Harry tucked his right hand into his pocket.
“Boss..you know you are a star..people will see us together and get the wrong idea”
She explained without meeting his gaze.
“So what if I change my appearance? Will you come with me?” He asked
She thought for a second. She knew Harry won’t be happy if she turned him down. She nodded
“Of..course” she answered
His face brightened immediately.
“How..how will you change your appearance?”
“My hairstyle..and -“
He walked back to his desk. Harry opened his drawer and brought out an eyeglass.
“I look different on eye glasses”
“So what about your hair?”
“You have a comb in your handbag?”
“A hairbrush”
She opened her bag and gave him the hairbrush.
“Help me out..I don’t have a mirror”
Ephyra rolled her eyes. She gestured to him to sit on her chair. She brushed his hair.
His hair fell on his eyes. Harry wore the eyeglass.
“How do I look?” Harry asked
He opened his eyes full and her breathe caught – they were the most beautiful pair of eyes she had ever seen. His eyes stared intensely at her while a smirk played on his lips. His lips were full and plump.
Ephyra restrained herself from touching his face.
“Nice Boss” she saluted
Harry was beautiful! ?
They both walked down the silent hallway. Harry stopped in track on seeing Shawna Brown.
“Hello Harry”
She started towards them
“Hi Shawna” he greeted her
Her gaze drifted to Ephyra.
Harry held Ephyra’s hand.
“Shawna meet Ephyra”
“Your maid?” She said with a smile.
Ephyra looked up at Harry.
“She is not my maid” Harry said with a frown. Ephyra tried to let go of his hand but he held on. Shawna referring to her as a maid didn’t make her happy. And she disliked Shawna immediately.
“Why are you here?” Harry asked in a rough tone. He knew someone must have informed Shawna about Ephyra being his maid.
Eleanor or Mom? He thought
“I’m here to see you” she said
“Well…oh! we were heading out to have dinner”
He said
Shawna stretched her hand towards Ephyra for an handshake.
“I am Shawna Brown” she said with a false smile on her lips. Ephyra shook hands with her. Then Shawna turned to Harry.
“Can we talk before you leave?”
Harry checked his watch. It was 6:30pm.
“I..I think I need to use the toilet Boss” Ephyra said before Harry could turn Shawna down. She wanted to be away from Shawna cause her intense stare made her uncomfortable.
“Excuse me..” She said and stalked off
Shawna stepped closer to him.
“You didn’t give me a call ever since I dropped by at your place” she said
“I’ve been really busy”
“Busy with work…or her?”
She pointed towards the direction Ephyra went.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m just curious…”
“Shawna I’ve been busy…that’s all”
“I met with Eleanor yesterday”
“So she told you about Ephyra?”
“Yes”
“Oh! I see”
He nodded
“Is it true?”
“What?”
“You’re in love with her?”
He stared intensely at her. And he said
“Yes”
Anger crashed over her as she felt his word pierce her Heart.
“I thought you never believed in love”
“Uhmm….i suppose so”
“So what made you change your mind?”
He didn’t respond
“Ephyra?” She asked
“I fell in love..like for the first time I was greatly affected by a woman. I couldn’t believe what my heart was telling me at first but somehow I did…and now my heart belongs to her. He confessed
“She won your heart”
He nodded
Then she wondered how Ephyra was able to make Harry fall in love with her. It was something she wasn’t able to achieve when they were together. And even after they reunited after 2years. Harry simply ignored her after she admitted that she was in love with him.
“So what about our last discussion?”
She asked
“I gave you my answer Shawna”
He paused
“We can’t be together”
“Why?”
“I don’t have any feelings for you. And I consider you just as a friend”
He said calmly
She nodded slowly
“Okay..I understand”
“Thanks” he said
Shawna faked a smile.
“I’ll go ahead now”
“Bye” Harry said
She walked away in the same direction Ephyra went.
Harry waited for Ephyra’s return. Minutes clicked by and she showed up with a sad look on her face. Harry was leaning up against a wall.
“Hey..are you okay?”
He asked
“Yes” she managed to smile
“Can we leave now?” He asked
“Please…can we head home…instead of… going to a restaurant?”
She stuttered
“Why?” He covered the gap between them
“I’m..I’m a bit tired”
Harry lifted his eyebrows
“Are you okay?..”
He placed his hand on her forehead
“Yes..yes..I’m just tired”
“Then let’s go and see a doctor”
“No..no..I’ll be fine with a good night rest…or I’ll just call James”
His expression changed at the mention of James.
He stepped back,away from her.
“Okay..let’s go home” he said in a low tone.
***********♦**********
The drive him was silent,each lost in thought. Harry wondered why Ephyra had changed her mind about going out with him. He had no idea why she was quiet and the look on her face gave him concern. Ephyra went straight into the kitchen to prepare dinner. He wanted to know what was bothering her so he followed her.
“What do you want to cook?” He asked
“Noodles” she said
Ephyra brought out packs of Noddles. He watched her as she kept bringing out Noddles.
“Don’t you think that’s too much?” He said
She didn’t realize that she had taken more than the usual pack for dinner. Ephyra was distracted and absentminded.
Ten minutes later they settled for dinner. Harry watched Ephyra as she picked on her food. She was distant.
He knew that there was something bothering her but he couldn’t figure out what it was exactly. Ephyra was lost in thought. Shawna words echoed on her mind. She closed her eyes as she tried to stop them but the words kept flooding her head.
FLASHBACK
Shawna made her way to the toilet. She met Ephyra stepping out of the room. Ephyra’s gaze met hers.
“Now what are you feeling like?” Shawna said
Ephyra was confused
“Lemme guess..on top of the world?”
She chuckled
“What are you saying?”
Ephyra asked
“Oh come on stop acting…”
“I don’t -“
“Are you happy now?”
She asked again
“What do you mean?”
“Mrs Isobel hired you to move in with Harry and work as his maid but you tried to make him fall in love with you” she said
“You’re mistaken” Ephyra countered
“You seduced him thinking he was going to fall for you but Harry resisted you. Who do you think you are?”
She whispered
Ephyra didn’t respond
“Listen to me..Harry can’t love you because you guys live in separate worlds. He’s rich and you are poor. He’s a star and you’re just his maid, a nobody. Ladies like you are called Gold diggers and opportunists. Harry and I are bounded by promise to each other.. Our promise to love forever. So stop being a slut and stay away from him
You don’t deserve someone like him. So Miss Maid look for a man who befit you..probably a driver or a security guard”
Shawna said with a wicked smile. She was happy that she had hurt Ephyra with her harsh words.
Ephyra was stunned. She couldn’t move or think of what to say or do to Shawna.
She moved to Ephyra and place a paper in her palm.
“This is enough to make you stay away” Shawna said
She walked away.. Her footsteps echoing in Ephyra’s ears. She watched Shawna until she couldn’t see her again.
Her gaze flicked down at the paper in her hand. It was a cheque.. $10,000. She leaned closer on the wall as tears burned down her cheeks. Ephyra was heartbroken. She lasted two minutes in tears before going back to the toilet to wash her face.
FLASHFORWARD
Shawna was right. She and Harry lived in separate worlds. She was a fool to think Harry loved her and that she was starting to feel something for him too. Ephyra wondered why she didn’t think Harry could be in love with another woman secretly even though his mom had said he doesn’t believe in love. It was shocking to find out that Harry was bounded to Shawna by love. They were both in love.
A touch on her skin stunned her out of thought. She met Harry’s gaze. His hand on hers. He sat in front of her looking into her eyes. Then she realized he had finished his food while she was deep in thought. She swallowed hard.
Harry cleared his throat.
“Uhmm.. I apologize on Shawna behalf for calling you a maid…”
He said
The mention of Shawna made her clench her fist. She avoided his gaze in the process.
“She..she was right” she muttered
“No” he said
“I’m your maid..and I think it best to stop treating me like I am more than a maid to you. Look I am your employee and I have no expectation of anything from you”
She bit her lower lip to hold back the sob in her throat.
“Believe me I am not a Gold digger or an opportunist and I am not trying to seduce you so you could love me”
She tried to defend herself from every word Shawna said to her. Harry was out of chair before she knew it.
“Relax…” He whispered
“Now tell me what’s bothering you?”
She nodded slowly
She didn’t want to tell Harry anything even if it pained her to find out he was in love with Shawna. But why did he ask her to stay with him when he had another woman in his mind?
He settled in the chair close to hers. He held her hands and squeezed it gently.
“You…”
She withdrew and stood up. Deciding that she would call Isobel tonight and inform her that it was over. She was ready to cancel the contract. She would stay away from Harry to avoid troubles with Shawna. Ephyra knew she’d tried her best to help Isobel. Since Harry now recognizes Her as his mom.
She would tender her resignation to the department not Harry..and then leave without a goodbye. Then everything would be over. She would be fine..Ephyra concluded
“Good night” she said
She would have left if he hadn’t touched her wrist. She didn’t look down at him.
“I used to think love never existed..until I met you. Ephyra, I know this might sound crazy but I think..” He stopped and stood in front of her.
“I’m in love with you” he confessed
A tear slid down her cheek as she glanced up at him.
Ephyra was surprised.
“I don’t need three months or anytime to figure my feelings, I know it and I’m sure of it”
“What..what about Shawna?”
She closed her eyes hoping to hear the worst.
“She’s just a friend. I don’t have anything with her aside the fact that we studied together in the same college. And she was aware that I don’t believe in love”
He explained
Ephyra felt like a fool. She was embarrassed by the decision she had made in her heart. The decision to stay away from him. He cupped her face in his hands.
“Listen to me..you made me believe in love. I don’t know how..but I guess it was because you were determined to stay around despite everything I did to you. You saw me at my worst but you didn’t give up..” He whispered
“Did you make any promise to Shawna?”
“What promise?”
“Love”
“No Ephyra none of that happened. And as a matter of fact I made it clear to Shawna that we can’t be together. Today I admitted to her that I’m in love with you”
What?! Her jaw dropped slightly. Ephyra thought deeply and it struck her.
Shawna said those words to her because Harry was in love with Ephyra. And he couldn’t love Shawna in return the way she had expected. Ephyra pulled away from him. She recalled that she was here to reunite Isobel with her son..and not to fall in love with him.
“You shouldn’t do this…” She said
He placed a finger on her lip
“I’m not going to give up on you too” he said
“It doesn’t matter if you are here for a purpose of connecting me to my mom..or that you are working for at my office. I want to be with you..and that’s why I asked you to stay with me”
He hugged her. Then she began to sob in his chest. And she held him tightly.
“Shsh..”
“I feel..the same.. too..but it isn’t right..”
She drew back when she calmed. She brought out the cheque from her Jean pocket.
“What is this?”
He collected it.
Harry recognized the writing on the cheque.
“Shawn gave this to you?”
“Yes”
“When?”
“I guess it was after she had the discussion with you”
“Why?”
He was confused
“So I could stay away from you”
“What?!” He gasped in shock
“And you accepted it? Ephyra were you willing to leave me just like that?” He asked
“I’m sorry but she gave me a good reason to stay away”
Then she realized how foolish the reason was to her. It was her turn to hug him so she did. Ephyra hugged him tightly.
“What reason?”
He asked
Then she explained everything to him.
Harry exhaled roughly when she ended. He reached out to wipe her wet chins.
“We’re just friends. I swear to you I’ve never promised her or any woman ‘Love’. We were apart for 2years..until she showed up here again claiming that she moved to USA because of me”
“She loves you..” She whispered
“Yes..and Eleanor too” he said
“Eleanor?”
“Yes but I already made it clear that I don’t love them”
She was silent
“Are you doubting me?”
He asked
“No..no..I believe you” she said
“So are you good now?” He said
She nodded
He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Theme: Connection
TUESDAY MORNING
Jacob Hospital
“How are you feeling?” Doctor May asked Gideon
“I’m better” Gideon said
James placed his hands on Gideon’s forehead. He was rushed to the hospital from school. It was said that Gideon had collapsed on the football field while he was practicing with his team.
“Why didn’t you tell your coach that you weren’t feeling well?” May asked
“Coach Ben hates excuses. He won’t listen..”
“So you just played without informing him about your health?” James said
“Yes” he answered
“Please call Miss Ephyra” James exchanged glances with Doctor May.
“Why?” May asked
“What has Ephyra got to do with…”
“I want to see her” Gideon cuts in
“I can’t call Ephyra. You know she’s very busy at work” James said
“Yes I know but -“
James phone beeped at that moment. He looked down at his phone.
“She’s the one calling?”
Gideon asked
“Yes”
And he picked it
“Hello Ephyra”
“How are you doing James?”
“I’m fine”
“Where are you?” She asked
“At the Hospital”
“Gideon’s at school right?”
“No”
He looked at Gideon
“Why?”
“He’s not feeling well”
“What happened to him?”
She was worried
“Actually he had fever last week so I treated him. Today he went to school and collapsed during football practice”
“Oh my goodness, James why didn’t you tell me Gideon wasn’t feeling well when I called you last week”
“I didn’t want you to worry about him. And you were busy at work so I just thought telling you would bother you”
“James you should have at least tell me about it. Somehow I would have make out time to check on him”
She rubbed her forehead
“Can I talk to him?” She asked
“Yes”
He handed the phone to Gideon
“Hello Gideon” she said
“Miss Ephyra”
“James said you aren’t feeling well”
“Yes…”
“I’m sorry for not coming around to see you guys”
“I understand”
“I’m getting paid soon so hopefully I would come around tomorrow”
“Can’t you make it here today?”
“Except if I plead with Mr Harry to give me a day off”
“So will you come?”
She was silent
Ephyra thought if Harry would give her the day off today to visit her family. What about Isobel?
The contract was that after one week she would visit her family and get paid If she sees any changes in her son.
“I’ll try Gideon”
“Okay..I’ll be expecting you” He said
Gideon missed her! And he couldn’t wait to see her. He gave the phone Back to James.
“Hello?”
“I can hear you Ephyra”
“James I’ll talk to Harry to let me come home today”
“Ephyra you don’t have to breach your contract with Mrs Isobel because of Gideon”
“The chairlady will understand”
“Okay”
“Bye”
Then the line dropped

GOLDMYNES MODELING AGENCY
Ephyra moved out of the office to look for Harry. He was at work with a professional Photographer. The Models were shooting a commercial for a cosmetic company. She would explain to Harry and probably ask him to keep it away from his mom. No…it won’t get to Isobel finding out she was seeing her family.
She focused on her phone to dial Madam Isobel’s number. It was best to inform her to avoid troubles.
“Hi Ephyra” someone greeted
She glanced up and Eleanor was there.
Ephyra stare at her and mumbled something indifferently. She recalled the day Harry introduced Eleanor White to her. She was like Shawna. Eleanor didn’t stop glaring at her. She didn’t know what they had discussed but Eleanor left with annoyance on her face that day.
Eleanor leaned forward.
“You seem to be the main talk in this agency” she said
Ephyra said nothing,hoping she would just go away. She knew Eleanor felt silly the way she kept staring at her.
“I don’t see anything special about you” Eleanor said
“Please excuse me” Ephyra said
“Where are you going?”
“I’d rather leave than stand here to listen to your nonsense” Ephyra said
“What?!” Her jaw dropped slightly
“You heard me” Ephyra said
“Don’t you dare talk to me like that again”
She slapped Ephyra
Ephyra tried to slap Eleanor but she grabbed her wrist. Ephyra whipped it away and slapped Eleanor.
“Don’t you dare touch me again!”
She said with a hard expression on her face. Ephyra walked away.
“Hey…” Shawna called out in anger and grabbed her wrist which had the bracelet. She tightened her hold on it. And then suddenly,it shined.
Ephyra felt the shock of wave of power within her as her eyes shone brightly.
Eleanor was scared! She let go quickly and stepped backward.
“What are you?” She asked
Ephyra yelped in pain. The pain was horrid and sharp in her heart. She tried to hide her face from Eleanor. Her breathe caught and she fell to the ground.
Eleanor made an attempt to run but then she heard footsteps and voices in the corridor. Harry showed up with another young Man.
“Somebody help!” She screamed when she saw Harry. His gaze fell on Ephyra’s body on the floor. The bracelet wasn’t shinning anymore.
“Ephyra!”
He rushed towards her. She was unconscious.
“What did you do to her?!” He snarled at Eleanor
“Nothing…she..she was..fine..just now” she said shakily
“So what happened?!”
He grabbed her clothes and tightened it around her neck.
“Her..her eyes…and that bracelet… shinned…” She stuttered in fear.
Harry pushed her away and she fell to the ground. Hot tears burned down her cheeks.
He scooped Ephyra up in his arms. He prayed that she was fine as he drove down to the hospital.

HUMAN WORLD
Jacob Hospital
“Doctor Brandon came out of the room with a nurse behind him. Harry went to him.
“How is she doing? ” he asked
“You can leave Nurse Adams” Brandon said
She was the same Nurse Ephyra had copied her name.
“Okay Sir” she walked off
“What’s wrong?” Harry panicked at the disturbed look on Brandon’s face.
“The Lady you brought in…” He paused
“Tell me what’s going on Doctor?” Harry said after a long silence.
He was scared of losing Ephyra.
“She’s strange” Doctor Brandon said
Harry lifted his brow
“What do you mean?”
“Come with me” Brandon said
Harry followed him inside the ward. Ephyra was laying lifeless on the bed.
“Look at this…” Brandon pointed to the machine reading her heartbeat.
It buzzed and stopped. It wasn’t moving,the lines on the machine was straight.
“She doesn’t have a heartbeat” Brandon said Harry knew what it meant,he rushed to the bed.
“Ephyra!” He shook her
She didn’t respond
“Harry…” The Doctor tried to hold him.
Ephyra wasn’t breathing.
She was dead! But he couldn’t accept it.
Tears burned down his cheeks
“No..no..she can’t be dead” he hugged her tightly
She was pale and cold in his arms.
“She was breathing a while ago..” Brandon said
“Listen to me Harry.. You have to know something is strange about this lady” he whispered
He was confused
“Please do something to revive her” he pleaded
Harry felt the pain in his heart again. The pain of losing a loved one.
“Please.. come.. back.. to me” he said shakily
Seconds clicked by and he held on to her tearily.
“Yes.. she came back!”
Brandon said in a surprised tone. Harry looked at him. He pointed to the machine again. Her heartbeat was steady.
“She’s alive” Harry looked at Ephyra
“That’s how she has been doing since you brought her in. Her temperature is cold,she’s pale and it hard to check her pulse but she’s alive”
“That’s impossible”
“Yes..but It seems she’s fighting death” Brandon said
Harry hugged her
“You’d be okay” he whispered to her
“Let her rest now” Brandon said
Harry lay her hack on the bed
“When would she regain consciousness?” He asked
“It depends if she wants to stay alive”
“Okay..” Harry said
“I’ll come around to check on her later”
Brandon moved out of the room. Harry held her hands in his and kissed them
“Please stay alive for me” he muttered
The bracelet shined but soon the light faded.. And Harry thought he had imagined it. Ephyra mumbled in her unconscious state. He focused on hearing what she was saying but he couldn’t make out her words.
His phone buzzed. He took it out of his pocket. It was Isobel.
“Hello Mom” he said in slow tone. The word ‘Mom’ felt strange on his lips.
Isobel thought she had heard wrongly. Harry called her mom. Isobel thought that she was hallucinating.
“Harry is that you?”
“Yes Mom”
She was happy!
“How is she doing?”
She asked with a concerned tone
“She’s unconscious”
Harry had called her the moment he arrived at the hospital.
“I’m scared..” His voice trailed
“She’ll be fine” she assured him
Harry wiped the tear that strayed down his cheek.
“Can I ask you something?” Isobel asked
“Of course”
“Perhaps.. Do you love Ephyra?”
“Yes”
His answer was immediate and sharp.
“Well I’d known from the start that you’d end up falling for her”
“She’s different” he said as he looked at her on the bed.
“So have you confessed to her?”
“Yes Mom”
“Really?! When?”
She asked
Isobel was stunned
“Yesterday”
“Now don’t tell me you’ve shared a kiss” Isobel giggled
“Yes” a smile formed iyn his lips at the image of him kissing Ephyra in his mind’s eye.
“Oh!” She huffed
“Then I guess..we have a lot to talk abut if you’re willing to talk to me as your mother”
Isobel said in a low tone
Harry was silent as he thought of his father.
“Forgive me son” she apologized
“I regretted my action towards your late father. I’m still carrying that guilt in my heart..and I don’t think I can let go if you don’t forgive me. I know it was hard on you when you lost your father in that crash..it pains me too Son”
Isobel wiped the tears dropping down her cheeks.
Harry sensed her pain. He realized his father’s death wasn’t her intention. He was mad at her for accusing his father unjustly. He knew someday he’d forgive his mother. And now was the right time to forgive and let go of everything. It was time to reconcile with his mother.
“I forgive you” he said
“Thank you Son” she sniffed
Harry was silent. Harry didn’t know what else to say to his mom.
“I’ll be at the hospital soon”
She said
“Okay”
He ended the call
Isobel was super excited! She couldn’t stop the tears spilling down her cheeks. It was tears of joy. She almost busted of happiness! And she couldn’t wait to see her son..to hug him just like she used to when he was a little boy.
