I never thought I would want to work on things with my mother. I was used to being let down by people. Used to putting up my walls. But maybe Savannah was right. Maybe some people deserved a second chance. “Keep trying, Mom. It’s nice to see this side of you.” Savannah clapped her hands together in celebration. My mother laughed, and I rolled my eyes. But I was happy, even if I pretended to be annoyed. I never planned on being happy. But here I was. Living it.
