In the car, a tear slips down my cheek. I thought I'd be able to keep my emotions in check, but I'm failing miserably. I swivel in my seat so Mom can't see my face. I close my eyes and take a deep breath to calm myself.

We deserve to have something better.

After everything we've been through, something's gotta give.

Smiling to myself, I begin counting down the days until our next study session.
