Chapter96

#Chapter96

My parents visited a week ago and really made me feel like I’ve finally found my place in life. We have come so far in such a brief time, now I’ve regained their trust, their love and things are looking up. Leila, of course, hates that I have moved here permanently, but she is warming to it and my frequent trips home mean she can forgive me for it. She refuses to come to the city to see me though, apparently leaving this life behind to marry Daniel means she has an aversion to ever leaving home.

/"Oh, shit, Sophs, is that today? I can’t, it’s Mark’s birthday and I promised him I would meet him at lunch./" Jenny’s big eyes and wobbling lip dismiss any urge to be mad at her. Her boyfriend works crazy shifts and she barely sees him as it is. I know they have been having a rough time together lately, well, truth be told she never actually seems happy when it comes to him. I can’t be mad for her wanting to see him on his birthday, over my nothing lunch.
