" what about your mother ? she would understand ."
" you don't know mum ," poppy said miserably ." she's not forgiving on some things . what i need is the money dad left me , then i can pay off my debt and i won't bother you again .

she shrugged ." it was exciting , i thought i could hear the system . al;l the usual excuses ." she observed a point on the wall ." so horing and predictable .
