While looking in the mirror, I fumble with my necktie and it’s frustrating me even more because I’m running out of time. I know my father will be calling me once again, demanding that I hurry for the emergency meeting this evening

“Hurry up or I’m leaving without you.”

“I’ll be there soon.”

I hurry even more, not wanting him to go without me. I’m now part of the team.

Just as I step outside, Vanessa’s car pulls up. I want to know all about her time at the orphanage with the children, but that’ll have to waiL
