Slamming the door shut, Rose pressed her head against the cold wood sobbing. Breathing heavily, she clasped her hand around her mouth as she tried to fathom what had transpired at the factory. Pregnant? The word permeated around her listless body. So it was true. She hadn't recognized the sign.

She was pregnant yet she could hardly take care of herself. In the same moment, Rose was more then elated because she knew whose child it was. She did have something to remember him by. Her hand slowly slid from her mouth to her stomach where her unending love grew silently.

Her jaw still quivering, she took a deep breath rising slowly from the floor. Placing the last of her possessions into the trunk she clasped it shut. She wrote a quick note to the landlord, then placing a few dollar bills across the letter she walked briskly to the door. She needed to find an old friend...
