The day Nanna had her last stroke she had been at the Laundromat and Marvin had been at home with Nanna at the time. Nicole suspected Marvin of foul play, but it cold never be proved.
"After this you will go to Parker Mills of Advance Laundry Service and work on paying back money he advanced to Marvin for the sale of the Laundromat. This amount I am not sure of."
Nicole gasped. "How do you know this?" she asked.
"Just because Nanna is bedridden child, don't mean she's out of touch. People don't know these walls have ears and I've been it too long not to know what its saying." Nanna held out her hand towards Nicole and Nicole grasped it with her own tightly for support. "Which is why I can't understand you, Nicole."
"Me? There's nothing wrong."
"A woman who sleeps so restless lately through the night means she's got a lot on her mind and heart. Who is he?"
"But you'll tell me all about him tomorrow, child. Now let this old woman get some rest."
She kissed by grandmother's cheek tenderly. "I love you Nanna."
"And I you, Nicole," she whispered before drifting off to sleep.
Nicole quietly left out the room and sighed to herself. Were her emotions that evident? No, Nanna was always tuned into Nicole and always knew what bothered her.
