Chapter 9 - From Convicted To Vindicated
Minutes shifted into hours as they finally made it out of the valley and miles away from the middle of nowhere.
Thomas became drenched in relief when he saw skyscrapers and modern looking buildings surrounding them. During this time, Maria had decided to occupy herself with a book she had found in the glovebox. From what he could tell, it was a beginner's guide to economics but like himself she had a tendency to be eclectic. Whilst they waited in traffic, he stole a quick kiss from her. Her mind was absorbed in the book so she didn't move an inch but he did catch a look of mischief in her eyes as a light of dusting of heat covered her cheeks.&nb

Her husband, a dreadfully plain workaholic never acknowledged her struggles or maybe he pretended not to know. Either way, Audrey Willow, detested her domestic prison and yearned to leave behind the laundry, the tantrums, the school runs, and just go to a nightclub or take a drive into the desert. Audrey took three pills with a tequila sunrise, the void that burrowed a chasm into her heart, and soul was locked into its cage.

It wasn't like they were toddlers who needed constant monitoring with consistent nurturing. Being a mother wasn't all bad, she loved her sons but she had no maternal instincts.
