As she talked, I just watched her, admiring not only her but the way she thought. I’d never in my life met someone so selfless, not since my stepmother. A lot of women would go without in favor of their kids, but Lisara and now Anastazia were on a different fucking level. They went beyond going without. The shit was more like a sacrifice. And coming from a nigga with a mother who didn’t give two fucks about me, it was hard not to find Anastazia’s mindset commendable.
