"The house is through the field, but don't worry, the tall grass helps with protection," Pamela said, making me walk behind her and reminding me to memorize the way.

"I heard what happened at the mansion. These people of higher status are all the same. They make us work our asses off for them, and once they no longer have anything to gain from us, they toss us aside," she sighed, probably reminiscing over the past.

The exhausting sounds from her lips were pretty clear indications of her grief. I could recognize those sighs from miles apart.

"Your son doesn't know we are coming over?" Mom asked, making me shake my head at her. She had just arrived and was already crossing boundaries. If Pamela didn't want to introduce her son to us, she shouldn't be pressured, but of course, my mom didn't know what privacy meant.
