“You’ll be okay,” Gabriele, Harper’s cousin, said. “Besides, I’ll be there with you. I’m sure you’ll meet new people right away.”
She had arrived three hours ago in the Hernandez household, and the whole unpacking thing already made her very stressed. She had brought four big suitcases from her house to here, and everything felt so overwhelming. The new house and new family she was given, was already enough to feel all the anxiety hiding inside her. But she knew this new environment was well needed.
