Monday morning finally arrived, and it came with a promise of a fresh start, but as Lauren woke up, she felt the familiar heaviness pressing on her chest.

She had never believed in prayers, but this time, she closed her eyes and said a little prayer. She didn't want anything to stand in her way to success. She has sacrificed a lot to be where she is now, so she needed no blockage.

The weekend had passed in a blur of awkward silences and unwanted intrusions. She had managed to avoid Lucious and Cynthia for the most part, burying herself in chores, even though Aunt Michelle is around doing some, she still found some to keep herself busy with, and also walking aimlessly around the mansion, with medical books in hand, which she is not exactly reading, and looking for nothing in particular, always forgetting herself, and things.
