I freshen up and saw clothes on my bed. Looks like Maureen come in when I was showering. I went downstairs and saw food on the table. My mouth started to water.

"Dig in!" She said.

I happily did.

"That was amazing!" I said.

She was about to reply but Keiona interrupted.

"Hey, Ma" She said and started eating.

"Keiona, This is Monique"

She looked me up and down and went back to eating. "Where did she come from?"

"She was homeless and I helped her" Maureen said.

"You helped a homeless person?" Keiona asked with disgust.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Nothing" She carried her dish to the sink and give me a nasty look. Then walked to her room.

What is her problem?

"I'm sorry for that" Maureen looked stressed. "She isn't the best. Her pride get the best of her. I've been trying to talk but she won't listen"

"I get that and it's okay. I guess it takes time for her to accept" I said.

"Well go take some rest. You really need it"

I hugged her and smiled sadly. "You don't have to worry about Keiona. She will come around"

"I hope she do"

I waved to Maureen and walked back to my room. I laid my head on my pillow and prayed. Thank you God.
