Debbie was a light sleeper. When she felt someone approach, she was up and alert. She kept her eyes shut, though. It was a defense mechanism from her past life. Sometimes it was easier to feign sleep than to argue.

She saw who it was and heaved a sigh of relief. She sat up.

“Ivan!

You're here early!"

He nodded, "I'm taking off soon. I'll be going straight from here to the airport."

"Really?" she asked, confused. Then, understanding dawned on her face.

“Oh, the awards ceremony, right?" she asked. She listened for his answer while she lifted the covers, got out of bed and smoothed her messy hair.

The results of “Best Actor and Actress of the Year" would be announced at the award ceremony. Ivan had been invited to present the award.

“Hmm. I Left orders with the bodyguards to take care of you and Piggy.

Just tell someone if you need help."

“Thanks, Ivan, but I'm good. I don't have any schedule these days. I can take care of Piggy myself."

She was wrestling with a hair tie when a bodyguard came in with breakfast.

She asked Ivan to keep an eye on Piggy and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

When Debbie walked out of the bathroom, Piggy was awake and playing with Ivan. When she saw her mom, Piggy smiled from ear to ear and greeted her.

“Mommy!”

Debbie's heart softened. She bent over and kissed Piggy on both cheeks.

“Hi Piggy. Hungry? Let Mommy feed you, okay?”

"Okay." Piggy clapped her hands cheerfully.

Debbie scooped Piggy up in her arms, while Ivan opened the containers for them. There was porridge, mashed potato and some vegetables.

In actuality, Piggy's name was really Evelyn Nelson. She was born at night, so Debbie named her Evelyn, which sounded like "evening."

Debbie had originally planned to nickname her “Tinky." But when Evelyn

Was old enough to eat solid food, Debbie made a frustrating discovery.

She found that her Little one hated meat. So Evelyn was rather thin.

Debbie wanted her to gain some weight, so she nicknamed her "Piggy."

But the nickname didn't work. The Little girl still hated meat, even minced meat. She could do nothing about it.
