Madison~~
My eyes wonder around Shelly's apartment, it's so much more brighter than mine even though the sky is gray.
She tells me to take a seat on her pink couch and I do politely. Her place is...aestheticly messy, there's two giant bookcases alongside the small box television and all sorts of flower pots all over the living room.
"Here you go." She hands the cup of tea with a smile.
I thank her before looking over at the bookcases once again. "Do you read?"
I ask.
"Oh no I don't. My daughter loves reading. She could read at the age of 3 already, and now at seven she loves writing poems as well." She laughs. "I don't know where she gets it from, neither her dad or I are great at... literature."
"Oh, that's great. You both must be really proud." I say. "Where is your husband?"
Shelly's laugh suddenly rings in my ears. "He's not around. We were never married. It's just Mabel and I."
"Oh."
"Do you and your ex have any kids together?" She asks.
