"It is not me but the baby. ""But the food will still pass through you. ""What are you driving at?" she cast her a quick look before going back to what she was cooking. "I am saying that you love food."Charlotte laughed. "How was work today?" "Well, the usual.""What did Jay and Kim say about your dress?""Nothing.""What do you mean nothing? Were they busy?""Kim is acting strange and I don't like it. "Charlotte noticed the sadness in her voice.

Riele got home and she was happy to see Harry awake, watching T.V. She stared at him for a while and she remembered how much he troubled her when he was younger. He has grown into a big boy and she can't wait to see more of him. For a young boy, he is handling matters pretty well. She hasn't sat down to talk to him about things but one day she will. "Harry, I am home." He rushed to meet her and took the things she brought with her. "Welcome sis." "Why isn't the door locked? I have told you several times...

"Since when did you and Mr. Kim become close friends?" "We aren't friends yet but I would love to be close to him. He seems like a sweet guy. I prefer him more to that Jay guy."

Do you feel fine?”Jay entered the room where Kim was and sat on the bed. “Does that mean I will see you tomorrow?”After a few seconds, he looked at Kim who was looking at him back before looking away. “I am sure he wouldn’t mind.”No one needed to tell Kim who Jay was on the phone with.
