"Honey, before you get the door I need to tell you that-
"Jin just a second." I patted his arm and opened the door. My heart stopped.
It was as if I had forgotten how to breathe. I blinked staring at the man in front of me. The one I hadn't seen for 12 years.

"Okay. Fine, you get 5 minutes." I gave in.
"I'll leave you two to it." Jin walked off. My brother and I sat on the couch. "So? Why didn't you take me with you? I was so miserable."
"I was only 18 Ellie, you were 10, I couldn't take you with me without knowing for sure that I could provide for you. I didn't want us living on the streets-
