~CHAPTER TWENTY~
It's 8:00 at night. After dining at a famous restaurant (where Jorge and Amy got prettttty close) we drive to Boulevard Royal, a type of shopping center in the heart of Luxembourg City. I carry lilacs with me everywhere I go. People think it's weird, but I know that the lilac's scent is the only way Mother will be able to recognize me. To recognize us - her daughters.
And while we're walking down the boulevard, I see her. What looks like my mother - blonde hair, with a blanket over her, asleep on a bench. She looks withered. Tired. Old. My mother.

Ooookay, what do you all think so far?
Oh, and just to clear up the confusion about this chapter and what not, I'll tell you the story behind "finding mother on the bench": Destiny's mom was under her real name in Luxembourg. When she arrived there years ago, she rented an apartment using the money she had, but soon, her rent failed and she had to beg on the streets. She tried getting a job, but no one would take her. She had no money for healthcare, therefore she was in a very bad condition, almost at the verge of dying. The day that Destiny and the gang were at the boulevard, Destiny's mom was walking there as well, again trying for a job. She eventually grew tired and fell asleep on an empty bench. Fate is what brought mother and daughter together.
Hope I got that cleared up, haha. Enjoy the rest!
