“Do you know what our parents are talking about?” I asked curiously as I walked into the garden where a fountain greeted our sight.

“Sorry, I don’t.” He replied. “Your garden is amazing, it’s like it’s from a fairy tale!” We started to walk around the fountain and I lead him into my favourite part of the whole garden – the maze.

“Well, Daddy and Mommy wanted only the best for their only daughter.” I rolled my eyes sarcastically. Not that I’m being ungrateful but honestly, I hated the way they spoiled me. With everything they missed in my life, they try to compensate it with something materialistic.
