A few minutes after hanging up the phone, Fabian and Michelle finally returned back to the apartment. I'm sure Victoria was happy to see her mother.

Now, inside the apartment, Victoria walked over to Jessica and said, Did you know it's my 10th birthday? Jessica would later say that she felt bad for Victoria. No one had celebrated her.
