She still lives at home with their parents because she’s trying to save money to open her own beauty salon. Ginger loves me but I bet she’d beat m... ass for that money. ‘Uh, David, Brenda is pregnant with his child, remember? Greg’s not going to try to get me back.’ As if on cue, my phone starts to ring. I dig it out of my pocket. It’s Greg. Instead of answering it, I place my phone on the table. ‘Kayla, he’s wanted you for most of his life. He’s not going to give you up. Brenda’s chased after. It was two more weeks before they moved me back home from Charleston. My thoughts the last few days there that they were going to 'release' me like some of the others that were vetted, but thankfully, no. Remember I said they now seemed to like me.

I didn't think I would ever get here. Had to ask directions twice to find your place."I finally spoke. "You came a long way for no reason then. I have nothing to say."

Someone with whom you shared something intimate, but I stillcan not bestow the gift to you fully. Although both of you share in thispower, it still is incomplete, therefore I must make.
