Esther had been deeply hurt, and her heart had grown cold.

“Would you like some?” she asked.

the distant city lights.

“My dad was an anti-drug police officer who died in the line of duty.
“My mom died in a car accident as a result of drug dealers seeking revenge. I ended up living with my aunt and
uncle.
“My aunt treats me well, but my uncle is a scoundrel. He used to peep at me while I showered through the
bathroom door crack. I told my aunt about it.
“They had a big fight over it, and my uncle tried to harm me, the supposed jinx, with a kitchen knife. I was so
scared that I ran away without even putting on shoes! I ended up in a bar.
