“He might be worried, but at least he's not upset with me. My family gets up set easily, and he got stuck helping me out. Wrong place. Wrong time. --She tried to turn her face to hide marks. The nurse told her no. --Everything is right. Right place. Right time for both of you. Are you from Jamaica?…” quote by Nicki Salcedo

““He might be worried, but at least he's not upset with me. My family gets up set easily, and he got stuck helping me out. Wrong place. Wrong time. --She tried to turn her face to hide marks. The nurse told her no. --Everything is right. Right place. Right time for both of you. Are you from Jamaica? Ava asked, but she knew the answer. The woman had that terrible peace about her that some people were born with. There was no wrong. Everything could be made right.””
