Chapter 29

“Scratch cards?” Camila was unfamiliar but had heard of them. The only time she had bought a lottery ticket was when a classmate persuaded her, a two-dollar welfare lottery ticket. She randomly selected a set of numbers. Each number was just one step away from the lucky numbers, yet so far apart like miles between.
