Since she was eight years old, Mary thought she would make it on her own, that she didn't need anyone. But somehow, Ava worms her way into Mary's heart and later, Diego does too. Together, they form a family, running away from the orphanage and trying to make it on their own. It is hard, but they make due. Except, now, Ava is an adult and has an idea how to support her family. An idea Mary is very much not okay with.
