"Will do," Sabrina assured.

Bettie's words brought a sting to Sabrina's nose. “Why don't you come with me?"

During Sabrina's most challenging times, Bettie consistently supported and encouraged Sabrina. Although Sabrina was typically reserved and had never verbally expressed her gratitude for Bettie, in her heart, she always considered Bettie to be her best friend.

As the time to part ways approached, Sabrina's heart ached at the thought of leaving Bettie behind.

Bettie chuckled through teary eyes. "If it weren't for my mother, I would be going with you, but she needs me here." Her mother only had her to rely on. She couldn't leave her mother alone.
