The last few nights had been the best nights of her life, she slept comfortably with her friend Esme and in her arms,also she had no reason to worry as she was comfortable.

She stretched lazily on her bed, her days had become routine, she helped her parents at the restaurant, visited Esme often to take care of her and went to the shelter after work hours.

Her mother always picked up at the second ring.She received a text from Ruby, asking her if she was still going to make it for the party. She tried to calm herself down but it wasn't working.

Roberta decided to pass the night at the hospital. She texted Mark and Ruby, apologizing for not attending the party. She sat beside Lorenzo's bed, watching him. He looked very peaceful in sleep just like his father. She spoke with the doctor in charge earlier, he said Lorenzo's injury was a casualty and it was going to heal nicely in no time.
