"I don't need adopting as my parents are coming for me, this is just a temporary housing situation."
"When the time is right, I shall come back for you."
"What?" Zinnia took the picture looking at the back confirming what Alton said. She began to cry as she wiped her eyes, smiling like never before. "I knew she wouldn't forget me…"
"I know it's probably getting old for you and all. But I'm serious. Not only has this been the best summer of all time but also the best birthday. I got to spend it with all my friends, and I even got a present from mum. I never gave up hope she was coming back."
"Can you be proud of them then? What sort of parents are they if they abandon their only child on the doorstep like a mere letter? No signs, no goodbyes. They just discard you like trash."
"My parents are not like that! They are heroes!"
"Heroes? Give me a break. The only thing your despicable family are is liars and cowards."
"You're wrong."
