“I was just upset because Mom doesn’t want me anymore. I felt rotten and needed to let it out. Plus, Clive and Brad won’t even talk to the now because of it. It’s all my fault.”
Hugh let out a heavy sigh. “Melinda, yeah, you screwed up, but it’s not that big of a deal. Nobody’s perfect–everyone messes up sometimes.

So, everyone in the slums had rough skin.
