Maryann
Chapter 1: Maryann
Maryann waited impatiently for her dad to answer the phone, after the 5th ring or so the answering machine came on and she hung up feeling only slightly deflated. She had just received some of the best news in years and couldn’t wait to share it with the one person who would be proud of her. As she stood up to head to the kitchen, her cell phone vibrated. The screen brought back the smile that had momentarily been absent from her face.
