All through the day, my mind swirled with ideas on how to get along with her, Judith's number wasn't connecting, which exacerbated my anxiety, I was left with no other choice than to scramble online for ideas about pleasing a prospective mother in-law, since Maxwell informed me late last night and I couldn't wake up early to discuss it with Judith before she left for office,

I could feel myself sliding into unconsciousness, and I was powerless to stop it. It was as if my body was no longer my own."Amihan!" I heard Derrick call my name, but it sounded distant and muffled.
