Our new home was still a million miles away from the Bahamas but far quite a mile from our old place. One week was enough to change everything and start a new life.

The website was permanently down and gone. I had changed my phone, email, and contact numbers and made cautious care that there was nothing left to trace back to me. After searching for available apartments online and settling on one, I had withdrawn all the money I've had up in my savings account for two years now and the amount almost caused me a cry of joy. This was going to be enough to last me and my sister a few months, coupled with the half payment I had gotten from Kelly and all of my dress-up dresses I had sold off.
