I'm getting better at hearing lies. I know sometimes people say good things even if they're not sure. They're trying to be nice, but sometimes I wish everyone would just say what's real.
Grandma says Ma will probably get better. I just want her to be happy. She doesn't sound happy on the phone, and if she lies, it makes me angry.
I look up, and I almost smile, but that feels like it would be lying.
Yeah, I want to get back to her. My friend Kate says you can't always choose how you leave this City, but I think it's okay to try. I left last time.
