"That check isn't going to stop me from getting an apartment. I have more money, alright?" The envelope went back on the table, and Janie folded her arms. "The apartment was in Harlem and she wants to live in Queens so she's close to the rest of her family. Me? I want to go home, to where I'm from and see my friends and all of the family that I've lost. But I can't do that, so I'm going to be mature and find somewhere here that my daughter likes. I'm going to pay back what I owe to everyone else, and I'm NOT going back to my old job. I'll continue at the shop."
