The beginning of the winter was something dramatic like that, with Rick and Rory picking up hopes for the first time in their life. Hopes of having a normal, happy life, just like others. And on the other hand, Yvette was filled with energy and determination, in order to do anything, and go to any extent to make those dreams of the kids come true. And when it was time for Rick's finals in school, and he had to indulge himself totally in studies, Yvette's hard work would cease to a break for a short while. Since this exam would be allowing Rick to promote into the next year, Yvette had to keep a pause on her plans, after going at it for a good while. Or rather, she got herself even more time to get as many resources as possible to work on Rick's speech furthermore. So, apart from helping Rick out with his studies like an older sister would do, and teaching Rory and other kids, as usual, the days in the orphanage didn't go any different for a whole month.
