Chapter 58

Back in my house after a painful and exhausting day at the office, I felt the need to reflect for a moment. I sat on my favorite couch with a glass of beer in hand, trying to find peace in my mind filled with complexity. Today had truly drained my energy, and the events at the office still echoed in my thoughts.

“My child, forgive your mother for always drinking beer. I can’t control my sadness and frustration. I’m shattered. I feel so much pain,” I cried again, gently caressing my stomach.

Sipping beer slowly, I let my mind wander and engage in a battle with the worries that emerged. What worried me the most was the plan James had talked to me about. He had unveiled a plan that seemed like it would change many things in my life, and I felt anxious about its consequences and impact.

“I’ve always thought James would propose something that could change my life. I’ve always been anxious about James’s plans. I don’t know what he’s planning, and it makes me restless.”
