A drunk Carlien

A week had passed on successfully and Paige was discharged from the hospital and was back home. Everything seemed to have gone back to normal but there was still some awkwardness between Paige and her father. None had spoken about the incident.

Paige was in her room making her bed. She lifted her pillow and shook it and a white envelope fell out of it. She furrowed her brows and picked it up but a lot of money fell out of the envelope startling her.

''How did this get here?'' she picked the fifty dollar notes and saw a note inside the envelope and took it out to read.

''I wonder if you will ever find this note. I wonder where we will be by the time you find this but this money is going to be here until you find it. Do you remember this day? It was the day I realised my feelings for you were deeper than I thought. The day you came to my house. Silly girl, how could you not even receive your pay and run away like a coward?'
