Chapter One: Heartbreak

Quinn

My hands shook, my breathing turned unstable as I saw the words that were rapidly turning on the phone's screen. It felt like my entire life just came to an end, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

“No, no. It can't be, this is not possible." The words tumbled out of my mouth slowly, tears freely flowing down my face, I didn't even make an attempt to control the tears.

“Mrs Fu is seen in public with a happy smile on her face, her new family seems to be really good to her, she looks so happy.”

It's not even the woman that was mentioned that's the problem, it's my family. My son and my husband are the people in question here, they're with her currently.

Even my son who hates dirtiness and hated it when anyone kissed him was kissing her cheeks in the pictures.

“You can't do this to me, Charles, it's not possible. No! No!!" I yelled, angry tears streaming down my face as I tried to navigate my phone with my bleary eyes.

I was eventually able to dial his number, but he didn't pick the call. He never answered, he's with her, enjoying it with my son. We should be doing this together, not them doing it with-

The room suddenly started spinning around me and I felt my body swaying backwards. A thump which was my body falling, was all I heard before darkness enveloped me.

I opened my eyes to an almost dark room and a quiet house, the memories of what went down before I lost consciousness rushed back to my brain. I let out a sigh and stood up.

My leg made contact with the toy building I was making before I saw the news. I was doing it for David, my son but I guess that's not needed again.

I went to the kitchen and ended up taking candy and a scoop of ice cream. I passed out due to lack of sugar. That wouldn't be the first time it would happen.

After taking the sugar, my body was too weak to move so I just sat there in the living room. The people I was waiting for soon came in, giggling and laughing away as if everything is fine in this world.

“Oh, we didn't see you there." Charles mumbled, the laughter died down when they saw me.

"Is it true or it's one of the fabricated blog news again?” I asked him the question directly, my heart beating wildly in my chest as if it wanted to jump out of my ribcage.

"It's real, we went out with her, is anything the problem?” He sounded so normal and unmoved.

“Of course there's nothing wrong in going out with your first love who we both know has always loved you and just got divorced. Tell me, was it a date?”

How I managed to stay calm despite how chaotic my mind was remained a mystery to me. But it's kind of like the calm before the storm, only that my own storm would be breaking down because this is outright heartbreaking.

“What exactly is your problem? There's nothing wrong in going out with a friend who's in need of my emotional support, you're just being unnecessarily jealous and bitter right now.”

“You will not tell me how I'm going to react to your infidelity! What exactly do you take me for, Charles? A dumb fool?” I yelled.

"Perhaps, because you didn't see me kissing her on the screen. All you saw was us having fun and you're this way, do you want us to be miserable like you? Be happy for once!” He yelled back.

He's right, I'm miserable, if I wasn't miserable I wouldn't be looking like an old woman who's suffering from the loss of her husband and has no hope in life again.

I couldn't stop the tears from falling again, I didn't want to cry before him but not anymore, my eyes just can't hold it.

“You know, I think it's time for us to split ways. I don't want to be with you anymore."

I don't know if the words didn't hurt like I expected because I was already hurt or because I kind of expected it. I've always suspected something going on between him and his first love.

“You want a divorce." I started quietly, the words coming out bitterly.

“Yes. I don't want this marriage with you anymore."

“You're doing this because of her right? You still love her after all these years, what have I ever done wrong, Charles?" I asked, my tone dry.

He didn't even reply, confirming my questions. I've always been a fool, I should have known that, he never fell out of love for her.

“Daddy, will Aunty Fanny start living with us now?” David asked him, making us both look down, his own words hurt more than his father's did.

“Yes, she will. That's if your mummy agrees to the divorce." He's not even failing to hide the fact that he's doing this for her.

“Mummy please, I want Aunty Fanny to be my new mum. And if we start living together, you can't come to see us because she'll be angry.” He said.

My legs were so weak that I fell to the ground, my mouth quivering. I had to look away from them, the mere sight of my son looking at me like I'm an outsider made me feel like puking.

“You have till tomorrow to conclude whether or not you'll accept a second wife in this same house." Charles said and turned around, about to leave with David.

Seeing them turn around made me realize the seriousness of the situation, are they really going to throw away everything we've had?

“Charles, this can't happen, are you really going to throw away everything we've had? Don't do this please, I'm sure you can still reconsider.” I pleaded, not even caring about how desperate I sounded.

“You know I never wanted this marriage in the first place, you forced it on me. So, just leave already, even my parents weren't in support of this marriage.” He said plainly then walked out of the living room.

It felt like the veil that has been on my face all through this marriage was being taken off. No one liked me, not even his parents.

They did it to the point of poisoning the mind of my son against me, he sees me as someone who's just living in the same house with me and not his mother.

Even Charles' best friend loathed me with passion, he thinks I'm not in the same social status with them so I'm not fit to be Charles' wife.

All through the years of the marriage that only happened because of my son, Charles never for once stood up for me. I tried in every way I could to stand up for myself but it's always like a parasite pushing a rock.

My phone dinging made me stop thinking, I checked the phone to see that it was a text message from an unknown number, a frown came up on my face as I clicked on the message.

Chapter Two: Moving out

Quinn

“I'm sure you know what to do now, you weren't meant to be there in the first place. Charles has always been mine, loser.”

The phone slipped off my hand. She won. She really won. I've been fighting this invisible battle with her since I was dating Charles.

It died down a bit when she got married, but that wasn't for long. God, I've always been a fool, a fool all these years that I stayed.

A roaring laughter came from the room, they were both laughing away. It just shows how happy they are, how happy they've been without me.

I picked up my phone, and the screen was now broken. I dialed my best friend Liz. She picked the call almost immediately.

“Hey, can you come over to the house with your car?" I asked immediately.

“Of course, are you good? You sound like you've been crying.” I envisioned the frown on her face right now.

"I'll explain when you get here, I'll be waiting.” I ended the call. My life is practically over right now, I feel so naked and empty at the moment.

I could feel the last hope I had for this family moving away rapidly, there's nothing here for me again. Unless I want to wait and watch Fanny really move in.

On getting into the room where I wanted to take my bags, I saw what was making Charles laugh and my stomach dropped immediately.

He's on a video call with Fanny, David was with him too, showing her his new toys.

“Oh, baby. You're so cute." She purred, giggling with him. I laid my hand on the first bag I saw, it's mostly filled with the ones I wear so I took just that.

That was all I took with my hand bag and phone. I had almost gotten to the door when Charles stopped me.

“What about the other bags, aren't you taking them?" He asked, taking his eyes off the phone.

I didn't even answer him, I moved my eyes to David. He was talking to Fanny but I had to grab his attention.

“David, you can come visit anytime you like. I'll be going now, I love you.” I said then walked out of the room. The kind of walking out that practically meant walking out of their lives.

I'll always be David's mother and I'll love him accordingly. Besides, he's still very little, I'm sure he'll soon grow up to understand everything that's going on.

I got out of the house and went to wait for Liz by the gate. Her car soon pulled up and I went in without thinking twice.

“Babe, what's wrong?" Liz asked, concern dripping from her voice.

"Just drive please, we'll talk later." Was all I could say.

She steered the car to turn towards the direction of the main road.

“My house right?" She asked after a while.

"Shit, I didn't even ask you. Can I stay with you for a while? It's just-” She cut off my ramblings.

“It's okay, you're welcome to stay for as long as you want to." She smiled at me.

"Thank you.”

As she drove, I reflected on the time we started having problems in the marriage. It started from Charles coming home very late, he'd blame it on work.

“Liz, was there ever a time last month that you all left work late. When I mean late, I mean eleven at night.” I asked her, a sad smile on my face.

“Last month? No, we've been leaving work earlier than expected because there hasn't been much work to do. Is there a reason you're asking?” She asked back.

She works at his office, too. She works hand in hand with his secretary so she'll definitely know about things like these.

"I've been a fool all my life, maybe I should have listened to your advice and not go ahead with the marriage three years ago.” That sad smile stayed on my face even though my heart was clenching in pain.

“What happened? What's going on? It’s Charles isn't it?” She bombarded me with questions, stopping at a red light.

“We’ve broken up.” The tears eventually fell.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, that explains everything going on. Are you okay?” She turned her entire attention to me.

“I'm not okay, I'm not fine." The tears eventually fell like a waterfall.

She unstrapped her seatbelt and wrapped her arms around me. We were broken apart by the honking of the cars behind us, that was when we realized that the light had turned green.

She drove the car once again, her other hand in mine as she drove towards her house.

Looking out the window, I thought of what life would be from now. This is just like starting my whole life afresh without anything but the savings my parents left for me.

Maybe life won't be as hard as I'm thinking it would be, maybe there's still something out there for me, just maybe.

~

We soon arrived at her apartment, a quiet sigh escaped my mouth as I went in. We used to live here together before I got married to Charles.

A lot of memories we've had here started playing in my head and I found myself smiling.

“You're smiling. Sorry, you're meant to be happy but this kind of smile is just so suspicious.” Liz said with a raised eyebrow.

"I just remembered some of the memories we had here.” I answered her, the smile turning into a sad one. A lot of things really went down here but one I'll never forget was the day I left.

"Life was very easy then, all we had to think about was working to eat and get new clothes then going out together with Liam.” She said, mirroring the kind of smile on my face too.

“What about Liam? It's been long since I heard about him?" I asked her, Liam is also our childhood friend, we practically grew up together.

“He’s fine, according to what he told me the last time we saw. But he still likes you, he said he's still keeping his distance from us though.”

He confessed his love to me a week before I got married, which was three years ago, begging me to not get married and allow him to prove himself to me that he really loves me.

I had to spell it out to him on my wedding day when he said we could run away. I told him that I only loved Charles and that he should find someone else because I won't be the one to love him.

Since then, I've only seen him twice and those were on Liz's birthday.

“I'm sure he'll be fine. But I do miss him though, it's been years since we went out as friends." I mumbled.

“Yeah, yeah. I don't think that time is ever coming back. Do you want to go out later tonight by the way? A friend invited me to her house opening party tonight, it can be the break you need.”

The mere thought of it made me shake my head immediately.

"I'll just be here alone, you go out and have fun.” The last thing I want is to be in the midst of sweaty bodies in a room reeking of alcohol.

“I'm not leaving you here alone-" she was cut off by the doorbell ringing. She glanced at me once then walked over to the door, she opened the door to reveal the face of Liam and he ran in, storming over to me.

Chapter Three

Quinn

A gasp left my mouth as he wrapped his arms around me tightly, he took in a very deep breath as though he had been deprived of doing that for a long time.

“I missed you." He mumbled into my hair. I was in shock before, but his voice brought me back to reality and I broke the hug.

"Did you tell him that I was here?” I faced Liz.

"What? No. I didn't say anything to anyone.” She defended herself immediately.

"I have my ways, Quinn. But let's not talk about that, aren't you happy to see me at least?” Liam asked.

"Have you been stalking me?” I asked him with furrowed brows. He just seems really off.

His presence and everything I'm seeing in him as he stands before me doesn't look like the Liam I used to be friends with. I don't know if it's because it's been long since we spoke or I saw him, but he just looks weird.

“Yes, it's been long since we saw. But how did you know I'm here?” I asked him that same question.

"I'll explain later, don't you miss me?” He asked, with that smile that looks almost like a smirk on his face.

I looked at Liz as if asking her to do something and she looked just as lost as I was, standing rooted on the spot. Liam just interrupted our eyes conversation moment.

“And I'm so sorry about Charles, always knew that boy was up to no good."

That was the last string he pulled, I threw a really hard glare his way and turned around. I had just reached the middle of the living room when I turned around again.

"Is that room conducive?” I asked Liz and she nodded. I immediately stormed into my former room, ignoring Liam's calls for me.

I got into the room and laid on the bed immediately. The tears that I've been trying so hard to hold in since I entered this house fell quickly.

Different scenes started playing in my head, the signs were there but I chose to ignore them. One that I'll never forget was our first wedding anniversary.

***

We had a small dinner with just close friends and family and he invited her over, saying she'd always remain his friends even though they were ex lovers.

Into the dinner, I suddenly couldn't find Charles, he left me with his parents. Just as I stood up to look for him, his mother dragged me back.

“Can’t you do anything without my son? Are you that useless?” She asked me.

My teeth grounded together in anger and my fists balled up at her words. She never fail to use derogatory words on me anytime she sees me alone.

“I was just looking for my husband." I replied through gritted teeth.

“Why must you? I'm sure he just needed a break from you. Let him be." She retorted.

My eyes moved to her husband who sat beside her quietly. One would really think he's one gentle person who's overridden by his wife with how quiet he always is.

But that smirk always in the corner of his mouth just shows that he's always the one at top, she just say out what he thinks or has planned. They fit perfectly..

Later in the night after the dinner and everyone had gone home, Charles came into the room. He only sent a text earlier that he was fine and I shouldn't look for him.

When he kissed me with urgency that night, I smelt a strange cologne on him, a cologne that I was so sure I smelt at another time that night.

“Why do you smell differently?" I asked out loud.

“It must be because I interacted with a out of people." He pushed me to the bed and kissed the living daylights out of me.

He was already so hard as we kissed that it was suspicious, he doesn't get aroused that easily.

“Wait, what's wrong with you? You're acting different." I frowned.

“I'm not, I just need you." He kissed me once more.

We had sweet sex that night, but during the course of coitus, he groaned and moaned.

“Fa- Quinn!" He moaned.

***

Now I know what really happened, he even called her name mistakenly when we were in the middle of coitus before correcting himself.

They were definitely together that night, her cologne was all over him and he was hard for her.

God, this is too much to take in. I don't even want to stress my head on how long this has been going on between them. What if they never even broke up and I was just a pawn in their game?

“It's okay, let it all out." I looked up to see Liz standing before me, she had her hand on my shoulder. I don't even know when she came in, I had zoned out completely.

"Is he gone?” I asked her, referring to Liam.

"Yes, I sent him away. And he won't be disturbing you for a while.” she answered.

I nodded, “Thank you." I don't even want to deal with Liam right now, I don't just have the time.

“Are you sure you don't want to go out? Being among people will make you forget your problems for a while."

“And what happens when I get back? I'll still come back to them. Besides, I badly don't want to be amongst people for now."

I think being in that marriage has increased my social anxiety, I actually overcame that with Liz but now I can't go out unless it's really important, i was a full house wife like he wanted.

“She won, Fanny really won like she told me she would years ago. Truly, one can never really outgrow the first love that easily.” I smiled sadly.

"I'm sorry, but she didn't win. She has always been in his heart, he just, I'm sorry to say this, he used you fo forget her. You should be mad at him not at yourself for giving up your home for that woman.”

She's right, that would have crushed my heart if I didn't know it in me. I loved Charles, I still love him very much.

He has moved on already and here I am, wallowing in pity over a man that could be in Fanny's embrace as we speak.

“I need to sleep." I mumbled. My head banged a lot and I just need to rest it or it'll blow up.

The doorbell sounded right on cue and she stood up from the bed.

“Sleep, I'll go answer that." Liz said and walked out of the room.

The moment the door closed behind her, I laid on the bed. I took off just my shoes, not bothering about the clothes. I just laid there with my eyes closed.

I found it difficult to sleep because of my parched throat, must be because of all the crying I've done today. I walked out of the room towards the kitchen, but when I got to the living room, I saw Liz standing there with a brown paper in hand.

She hid it immediately she saw me, fear crossing her eyes.

“What's that?" I asked as I walked over to her. She shook her head, not saying a word.

I moved closer to her and forcefully took what she's hiding away from her.

Divorce papers?

Chapter Four: Downpour of emotions

Quinn

My hands shook as I opened up the letter, my eyes blurring with unshed tears, everything still feels so unreal to me, I don't just want to believe that it's really over.

With my really blurry eyes, I read the letter and saw that he already signed.

“I'm very sorry." Liz said to me, I just shook my head.

“It's not your fault. I'll just sign this and send it back to him, it's no use sorting things out between us again, he already made his choice.”

If it was another scenario, I could have been told or even made up my mind to fight for him, fight for us. But this situation is very different, he knows what he wants and it's not me.

“You can do that later, I'll say that you rest for now. You need to sleep at least and it's so obvious on your face that you need it.” She said to me.

"You're probably right, I need to sleep." I dragged my tired body over to the room again, my throat felt so clogged and my eyes could barely see anything as I walked over to the room.

The moment my body made contact with the bed, the tears fell like a waterfall. I don't even know where to go from here, he was practically the reason I was living.

I gave my all for the marriage and now it's over. I cried till I fell asleep. My body was too weak to stay awake for long. I don't even know if I just fell asleep or it was just sleep.

My eyes moved around as I assessed the surroundings, it looked like my entire body was on clouds because I felt so different, I felt weightless.

I happened to be in the middle of a lot of flowers and trees. This is just a natural garden, not the kinds that are planted by people but the greenery here seemed to grow on its own.

Suddenly, the wind picked up around me. My eyes closed as I expected the sand around to enter my nostrils but that didn't happen. Instead, I felt a calming sensation wash over me.

The kind of calmness that had me closing my eyes felt so relaxed. I couldn't even do anything but to just relax in the moment with a smile on my face.

“Okay, the dream was so good that you're smiling so genuinely." Liz's voice was the first thing I heard on waking up.

My eyes opened fully to the room I slept in, but I just feel so different compared to the last time I slept.

“Huh, you're so creepy. Go away.” I groaned, her face was really close to mine and she had that weird smile on her face.

"It's so good to see you smile that way for real.”

"Move back!” I yelled when she kept getting closer. She knows how much I hate things like these so she must be doing it to spite me.

She started laughing, “What? Is my face so ugly that you don't wish to wake up to it?" She laughed.

I sat up on the bed with a glare on my face towards her.

“When did you even get here? Why are you monitoring my sleep, you creep?" I bombarded her with questions.

“I didn't even do anything, why do you hate me so much?" She made her face up in a sad pout that anyone would have thought she was genuine and pitied her, but I know better.

“But on a more serious note, what made you smile in your sleep? Is it something I can hear?" She asked and I nodded.

“I had a dream and it just feels like it was telling me to calm down. Like, I feel so relaxed and different.” I explained to her with a smile on my face.

“That's very good, I'm so happy to hear and see you so happy. You deserve it honestly and I hope this lasts forever.” She said to me genuinely.

"I hope so too, I really do." My stomach decided to make itself known at that same time and I huffed. I haven't eaten in a while and I just started feeling that.

“I guess it's time to feed your stomach, let's go eat.” She dragged me off the bed and started dragging me out of the room and into the kitchen.

"I made this especially for you. And don't you dare cry!” she must have seen the tears about to form in my face when I saw three of my favorite dishes on the table.

She actually took out time to prepare this for me and expect me not to cry? The last time someone did something like this for me was from her too.

I just hugged her tightly since she didn't want me to cry. But the gesture is really sweet.

“Thank you so much, this means a lot to me. I don't know what I'll do without you." I mumbled into her ears.

"It's nothing, I'm happy you're happy. Now let's eat before everything gets cold, I just microwaved them before coming into your room earlier.”

I broke the hug and sat down on the chair in the kitchen, it had just two chairs and a table big enough to contain two people meeting.

I first dug into the pasta as it's my favorite. The tears I've been holding before eventually fell as the taste exploded on my taste bud.

“God, this is so good. I miss you so much.” I moaned out of joy. Maybe I wasn't so sad before and all I needed was her pasta because this is so good.

“You're crying." She stated, glaring at me.

“It's too good to not cry over. Just marry me already so I'll eat your food for eternity." I said with a mouth full of pasta.

Now that I think of it, she almost stopped coming to my house immediately after I got married. I once asked her and she said it was nothing but I know it's because she didn't like Charles that well.

She tried to really come in my first year but it got to a time that she just didn't come again.

“I have something to ask you thought. You stopped coming over to my house at some point, is there a valid reason?" I asked.

“I don't want to soil our moods, I'll advise that you finish eating first, trust me.”

I nodded, believing her words because I really don't want anything that'll stop me from finishing this food before me.

After eating, we went to sit on the couch and my eyes landed on the divorce paper, I sighed then picked it up.

“Can I have a pen please? I want to get this over with." I asked her.

“Are you sure you want to do this?" Liz asked me and I nodded immediately.

She took a pen from the shelf in the living room and handed it over to me. I signed my own part. Signing was kind of difficult for me but I did it anyway, it has to be done.

Almost immediately after I signed, the doorbell rang and Liz went to check it.

“I'm here for Quinn." Charles?

Chapter Five: Finally divorced.

Quinn

I was frozen on my seat as I heard his voice, that's the least thing I expected right now.

“She's inside, what do you need her for and what are you doing here?" Liz asked him, her voice sounding so cold and distant.

"I need to get something from her, just let me see her.” He answered her.

"I don't think she wants to see you, check back later.” Then she slammed the door on his face so loud that I flinched.

“That was rude." I mouthed and stood up.

“You really want to go out to see him?" She asked me as I walked towards the door.

“It wouldn't hurt to know what he's looking for." I shrugged and open the door.

Since I had that dream I've been feeling so different, like completely different and it's so good. Even knowing that he's right outside the door just feels normal to me.

I opened the door and he had just turned around, I let out a sigh before talking.

“Charles." I called his name. He turned around immediately, surprise coating his features.

“I heard you were looking for me.” I said, crossing my hands over my stomach. He took a double look at my body before looking at my face.

It's almost like he didn't expect to see me at all. He cleared his throat then put on a normal facial expression.

“Yes, I'm here for the divorce papers. You should have signed them already." He said.

I won't lie and say that didn't hurt, when was the letter delivered again? And he already expects me to have them ready.

He badly wants to cut this off between us that quickly?

I didn't say a word to him, I just went back in and took the divorce papers.

Liz seemed to understand what's going on, she didn't say a word too as i picked up the paper and put it in a brown envelope.

“Here it is. I guess Fanny is so eager to have the papers." I said as he took the paper from me.

His head shot up when I said that second line, I also don't know why I said that but I did anyways.

“Don't talk about her like that." He said in a warning tone.

"I'd like to have David with me this weekend, make sure he gets here.” Was all I said before closing the door on his face.

I rested my back against the door. Hearing him defend her like that made me realize how far they've gone. He never defended me, not even when his parents or friends talk down on me.

“Everything will be fine." Liz said as she came to hug me, I wrapped my arms around her and just stayed that way before breaking it.

It hurts like hell, I wouldn't lie. I didn't just give my all for the marriage, i also loved him with everything in me. I really love him and the hesrtbreak hurts like a bitch.

“You're sure?" I asked her.

“Yes, you're a strong woman and I know you'll always excel in everything, just keep your head high and stay focused.”

The words got to me and I nodded, keeping a sad smile on my face. I don't even know how I'm meant to feel right now, I just want to forget about everything for a while. It's so overwhelming.

“You know what will fix you right now?" Liz asked me, sounding so hopeful.

“What's it?"

“Netflix and chill." She answered as if she just found the answer to a hard arithmetic.

“I don't think I want to go out now, I don't feel like going out at all.” I mumbled.

"Then we'll create it in this same house, I have ingredients that we can use to make popcorn, then we'll just watch movies till whenever. It helps, trust me.”

Her eyes were pleading with me to just believe her, so I nodded, bobbing my head up and down.

"Okay then, let's get started! What do you want to do? Make popcorn or rearrange this?" She asked me.

“You're so good at making popcorns, so I'll rather you make them then I rearrange this space.” i answered.

“Okay then, let's get started." She repeated that line again.

We parted ways, I went into her room to get blankets then I started moving chairs, rearranging them and making it look bigger and more comfortable.

I ended up taking the chairs away completely, I used pillows, three big blankets and some other thick beddungs I could find that it looks so good.

The only thing is that we'll have to watch the movie with s laptop because the television is too high up.

There's a chair behind us that we can use to rest our back too.

“Wow, this looks so beautiful." Liz said as she walked out of the kitchen. The light has been changed to a warm and low colour.

The blinds are drawn that no one would even know it's bright outside.

“And the popcorns smell so good too, I hope you make a lot, I don't think I can keep my mouth empty all through.” I smirked even though she wouldn't see it.

"Don't you dare!"

I laughed loudly at that, I always eat majority of the popcorn whenever we watch movies together. She's always too concentrated in whatever we're watching and doesn't remember that there's popcorn most times.

We started watching the movie in no time, it happened to be s very interesting one. I was so deep into what I was watching that I was the one who forgot about the popcorn.

Liam came in between and Liz told him that I don't want to see anyone for now. And truly, I didn't want to see anyone at all, I'm just not in the mood for anyone.

~

When it was evening, I already almost forgot that I was sad in the morning. We've been doing a lot of things that we're currently looking for places for the fashion store I told Liz about.

So far, the location of the places I've seen aren't ones I'll consider, so I'm still on the watchout for one.

“So, what other plans do you have? I mean regarding this business. Do you have a social media account that you're using and we can post your launching on?” She asked.

"I can't remember the last time I've posted on those accounts though. But I come online everyday, I just don't post or comment on posts." I answered her.

"Okay then, I think that works. I'll help you make some graphics then we can go from there, I can help you handle the account for a while before you take over.”
