Fiona glanced at Erica, noticing her arched eyebrows and pleasant features. She absentmindedly twirled a pen in her hand, her eyes quietly studying the young woman before her, a faint smile giving her an approachable vibe.

"Name?" she asked.

"What's Allen to you?"

"He's my cousin. I really have nowhere else to go. If my mom finds out, she'll kill me. My cousin has always looked out for me, so I had no choice but to come to him."

Fiona chuckled softly, glancing at the pen in her hand. Her eyes twinkled with a bit of amusement, though she kept it subtle.

"I don't know what your endgame is here, but it's obvious you're not just looking to terminate this pregnancy. You want to keep the baby, right?"
