"No, I don't think so." "You should go. You need it." "How?" I asked incredibly, "Am I going to be paid extra for going? Nah, I won't waste my ton that. I will rather stay hand have a good night's sleep with my baby." "Look," she slid the chopped potatoes aside and dropped the knife. I sighed, already able to tell that she was going to give a long convincing speech.
This one won't be convincing though because there was no way I was going to go that party.
She stood on the other side of the counter and firmly held my gaze. "Even though you don't talk about it much, I know these past few months have been hectic.

"Uh... the good one? The one that makesand my child's present and future secured." She gaped at me. "No, Ana, it's the bad one.

"Right," I drawled, "Good one right there." She giggled briefly before she turned all serious again. really think you should go. It will be fun." "I'm not disputing that it wouldn't be fun. I just don't want to go. My mind's made up." She said nothing. Instead, she squinted her eyes at me.
"What now?" I shifted in my seat.
"You, Anastasia," she started slowly, "is not ditching 'cause you think Aiden is going to be there, right?" "What?" "Or "cause you are certain Aiden will be there. Yes, that's it!

"Then why are you so adamant on not attending?"
"1-" I stammered as I thought of why I didn't want to go. Honestly hadn't even thought about it. I just concluded that I wouldn't go. "Amie!" I blurted loudly, pointing at Clara.
