"Aunt Freya? Is that you? You've changed so much!"

"Alicia? What brought you here? I've been looking for you all for a long time!"

With tears in her eyes, Freya went forward to hold Alicia's hands and said, "Come in and sit with me. We'll talk!"

How could she be nestling in such a tiny space now?

At the very least, she should have a workplace separated from her residence. After working for more than 20 years, couldn't she at least afford an apartment?

Or was she broke?

Thinking about this, Alicia found it hard to believe!
