It's been a month and a half since everything happened. Today was the last day of school. It was summer break and coincidentally the day she would be released from the hospital.

Words could not describe how good it felt to be out of the hospital.

Rose stared out the car window and saw a McDonald's. Her stomach grumbled and she blushed in embarrassment when her mum raised an eyebrow at her.

It's really been a while.

Then she saw, albeit briefly the woman her mother was before her father died.

Her momma.

"Yes, yes I would like that very much."

Rose smiled and her mom returned it lovingly.
