After giving out the extra food to the children, who were exactly where she expected them to be, Mina went to join the others at the shore. She wore a white plunge back one piece that said the word 'beach' on it with a mesh wrap coverup. Mills had insisted she wear it, and when she got to the shoreline, she saw that it was because the woman wore a matching black swimsuit that said the word 'babe.'
Mina laughed at the woman, realizing that Mills was like any other girl, she just grew up a little different. If Mina had been born in Sani, she likely would have been married with more children than she could afford like other women. She felt happy for Mills, who despite having little education defied the odds that were against her. Mina found herself genuinely wanting to meet the brother who gave Mills the strength to push harder, thinking that maybe he could be her opportunity.
