"I've been yours since that first day you carved my initials in your leg," a man implored as Merope entered the dingy orphanage.

She looked down at the baby, fixing the purple and black blanket so her son was fully covered.

She waited nearby, already wanting to go home but knowing she had to stay through the argument if she wanted to get her business done.

Thankfully the matron noticed Merope and sent the man away. "May I help you?"

"I'm leaving my son," she stated. It was the quote she had repeated in her head since she had come to the decision.

"That's nonsense. You're a mother, and I'm tired of seeing all of these children coming here because their parents got pregnant and then changed their mind about wanting to be a parent. You take your son and go home."

Merope narrowed her eyes. "My primary objective is to leave my pure son here, and hopefully he'll be adopted by a nice family. Your job is to take him, no questions asked. And I don't need a lecture. I'm doing what I have to do. End of story."

She shoved her son into the woman's arms. Ignoring the infant's cries, Merope stomped out of the room.

She did what she had to do. End of story.
