Sabay

Take a stand

(She opened the door of their apartment and saw her sister Jessa seated on her wheelchair and seemed to be waiting for her)

---------------------------------

(Tapping a glass of iced water, massaging her forehead with her right hand, Abi is in deep thinking)

(She looked at him teasingly)
