----------------Two Weeks Later--------------
I had already met with Vickie and her lawyer and I had several accounts already set up in my name. I was so excited that I could finally do my own thing. I couldn't get my own place in my name so Vickie put it in her name. I was in one of the safest neighborhood's in town. I got to design the whole interior and Merce helped me move my furniture in. I still had my learner's permit, but when I got my provisional liscense Vickie said she would take me to get my first car. I was so happy to be out of Evilene's house. I went back and got everything that belonged to me and brought it to my house. Everything was lining up perfectly.

I had just finished putting away clothes and whatnot when I heard the front door open and close.
"You should really start locking the doors. Even though this is a nice neighborhood, you can never be too safe." That was Merce's voice. He came into my bedroom a few moments later with a bag of Chinese food in one hand and a bottle of Pepsi in the other. "You hungry?"
I nodded, then followed him to the kitchen.

"What's the good word boo?" He asked while unpacking the food.
"Peace."
"Word?"
"Yeah I don't have to listen to my stepmother or anything. She doesn't like seeing me do good. Vickie told me last week she was snopping around trying to see if she could get some of the money my father left me."
"Damn that's crazy."
"I know, but bae my shit so secure the FBI can't hardly get in it, but I got my lawyer to put some more security in place. I don't want this to fall through and I have to go back to nothing."

"I feel you on that, but you'll never have to go back to nothing. You can always crash at my spot." He handed me a plate and we sat at the dining room table.
"Good to know." There was a short pause, then I spoke again. "So... what are your plans for the day?"

"Well I just want to chill here today."

"We can do that."
"Cool. I have a few movies if you want to watch any."
"Naw, I just wanna kick it, you know?"
"Oh... okay."

When we finished eating we just sat on the couch and talked all night. I woke up and I was laying in his arms and I gave him a kiss on the cheek before I got up to cook breakfast.

An hour later, Merce woke up to the smell of eggs, grits, sausage, and pancakes.
"It smells good in here," he commented.

"Thanks to Chef Cindy. Good Morning."
"Good Morning bae." He kissed me on the cheek.
"Go ahead and sit down I'll make your plate."

He did as he was told. I made us both plates and took them to the dining room table. I sat across from Merce and started eating.
"What, no grace?" he asked.

"Huh?" I said with a mouth full of food.
"Grace? Don't you say grace?"
"No...sorry."
"It's cool." He took my hand and proceeded to say grace before we ate.

When we finished eating, Merce volunteered to clean the kitchen. I used that time to take a shower.

After I got out the shower I decided to check my mail. There was a blue envelope in the mailbox addressed to me. I came inside and opened it right up.
Dear Cindy,
I know you thought I was dead, but new witnesses came out in my case and finally told the truth. I am no longer on death row and I am set to be released in a month. I'm so excited to get out of this place and finally see your face. I haven't seen you since you were a baby and I know you have grown. I have my time set to come see you and everything. I hope you are living a better life now and I want you to be smart with the money I gave you. I know you're probably concerned about all the money I gave you. Well don't worry about me because I have plenty more accounts and I can live worry free. I can't wait to see you either.
Love, Dad
A few tears ran down my eyes and I started to cry. I would finally get to see my father after all these years of being without him. I could finally get the truth of everything. This was a true blessing.

I put the letter away in a safe place, along with the first one he'd sent me.

I wiped my face off and joined Merce on the patio. He was texting and just enjoying the view.
"You good?" He asked,
"Mhmm I'm fine."

"It looks like you were crying? What's up?"
"I just read a letter from my dad."
"And?"

"Well he's getting out of jail in a month."
"But I thought-"
"New witnesses came forward in his case. He's a free man now and he wants to see me."
"So what happens to you now? You know with all the money?"
"He said in the letter that he has plenty more accounts and he will be fine, but he wants to come see me."

"So, you should be happy, righht?"
"I am. I'm just nervous."
"About?"
"I don't know. What if I'm not what he expects, or he's not what I expect?"
"Well, what do you expect?"

"I...I don't know. I don't even know what the guy looks like. A part of me wants to be mad for him getting in jail and leaving me, but another part feels bad, even guilty."

"Why?"
I shrugged.
"Well, I'm sure that all of those negative feelings will pass when you actually see him."
"I hope so."
