The weather outside was damp and chilly, with a light rain falling and a strong wind blowing. In the yard of a run-down house, a young girl was washing laundry in a bowl.
The water had long since cooled, and her hands were growing tired. After finishing her work, she began to hang the clothes on lines.
Her neighbor, Mrs.Nantz, hailed her, "Hello, Shannon, may God help you! I see you've been cleaning since morning, and you've done the laundry too, well done! You've even tidied up the yard.
I brought you some milk and a pie with raspberries for you. Sit down, rest, and eat. You must be tired. You can't overdo it in your condition."
The young woman was happy to see her visitor and responded, "Hello, Mrs.Nantz! Thank you so much for the treat. Come in, why stay in the cold?"
The older woman came into the house, looked around, and praised the homeowner, "You can already live here! I see you've even washed the curtains. Late Tom could never have dreamed of such cleanliness.
He was a solitary man and didn't take care of things, so the house was neglected. It's good that you moved in; otherwise, some drunks might have taken over, and they're nothing but trouble!"
Shannon was pleasant, with the warm words of the neighbor, she began to fuss, to put the kettle on the stove and look for a brew. During the conversation, she ate the neighbor's pie and treated her to apples from the abandoned orchard.
Mrs.Nantz looked at the woman and shook her head, "You're a good girl, not lazy, hardworking. Tell me, how did you end up on the street, and get pregnant by someone you don't know?!
You're still a child yourself! Don't you have any family to help you? It's difficult to be alone with a boy!"
After finishing her meal, Shannon frowned and shook her head. "I'm an orphan, Mrs.Nantz. I was raised in an orphanage. My mother abandoned me at the maternity hospital. I've never known what a normal family feels like.
In the orphanage, my friend was Bruce, known as 'Daredevil'. He was feared by all the guys there; he didn't tolerate any offense and didn't listen to anyone.
But I cared for him in a special way. At first as a brother, a friend, and then... Eventually, we fell in love. Bruce convinced me to run away from the orphanage.
He so beautifully described freedom and a free life beyond the iron fence, where we could love each other and travel the world without any rebukes or punishments.
I was sick of the orphanage, so I agreed to go with him wherever he went. I was 16 then and he was 17. It felt like our whole life was ahead of us.
Despite Bruce's promises, things didn't go as planned. We fled, hopping on a train and traveling 1000 kilometers without tickets.
Evading the controllers and track workers seemed exciting. That's how we ended up here. But what now? We had no place to live, no money.
Bruce's friend Andrei, also a former orphanage worker, took us in. I was still a child, without a job or papers.
Consequently, Bruce started stealing from the market and passersby, taking wallets and cell phones.
He kept this from me for a long time, claiming he was moonlighting at the market, unloading trucks with goods. I was naive and believed him.
Eventually, we rented a room and I found a job at a fruit stand. Life seemed to be improving, and I thought we would always be together.
My pregnancy came as a shock to both Bruce and me. We weren't ready to be parents, especially as I was only 18. I finally got my passport, though not without difficulty.
Our arguments increased as I insisted we get married for the sake of the child, while Bruce pushed for an abortion.
