LYRIC
I was reading a book on my phone when a text popped on my screen, freezing the air in my lungs.
'Hi, Lyric. Have you missed me?'
It was from Roderick, and it was accompanied with a photo of me at the airport from when I newly came into the country.
What the hell? He had taken a photo of me that day?
But most importantly, why was he texting me?
The doorbell ringing interrupted my thoughts.
I scrambled off the bed and into the living room to check who it was. The kids were in their room, playing a video game.
Who could possibly be visiting Jaris?
I opened the door and was met with surprise when I found Marta.
Unlike her, she didn't have any makeup on. Her hair looked like it had been hurriedly brushed and parked. Her eyes were swollen, indicating she had been crying.
Wow. Ma
