A little silence filled the room for a few seconds before I had gathered enough words to say to him. "Wait what?....no I can't ", I say and this time I carefully place my coffee mug that is now a little bit cold since I barely had a sip of it. "Why not , give yourself a second chance".

Sunday went by so fast  and Eliz finally came back.  She filled me in about her amazing weekend with her significant other. She kept filling me  in but somethimes and had to call me when I'd get lost in my thoughts.  She had commented that I was becoming paler, and she was right.

My stomcah groaned before my mother's warm fingers brushed my tiny belly.I drifted my gaze from the curtain to the ceiling above a smile was spread across her face when my eyes met my mothers  crystal green emerald eyes."Good morning princess ."The corner of my mouth turned up at the very sight of her forming a warm smile on my face. I sat up straight and "Good morning mom."I flipped my blankets throwing myself into her arms.
