In a daze, Mia had walked for a really long time before she got to her mother's bakery. She stood under the rain and saw her mother through the glass window in her shop as she arranged her things while getting ready to close for the day.
She took out her phone to call her mother, hoping to hear her voice since she did not want to disturb her by going in and neither did she want to go inside her store looking like that.
After dialing her mother's number, she watched how Linda took out her phone from inside her apron. When she checked to see who was calling, Mia had expected her to take the call but to her surprise, her mother kept back the phone inside her apron.
That had been the last straw for Mia and she suddenly became very sick.
She could not use a taxi because she could not find one and even when she did, they weren't willing to carry her because she was completely drenched.
