Border Secured (A Scenario) Section 5 - Part 6

I could not shake the feeling I had of seeing Maud with Conroy. I never knew I had a jealous bone in my body, but here I am fighting a strong urge to go and snatch Conroy away from Maud and bring him back to stay with me! I sighed deeply, I really have been learning so much about myself these past weeks and it all started with Charmaine’s diaries. Speaking of which, I needed to go and catch up on my reading.

Thank God it’s Friday! I said to myself as I got out of bed. As much as I loved my job I wished I could stay home because I woke up with a splitting headache!

"Did you know about this?" I asked. "Oh no Miss Cecelia!" was his swift response. When Cassie's Grandmother asked me to read the letter and I noticed the name on the birth certificate, I just knew that I had to get it to you right away. It's a good thing that Cassie's Grandmother
