Chapter 51

The next morning Theo went off to work, leaving me with Tobias. I told them I didn t need a babysitter, but they ignored me. I could tell they didn t trust me. I had no intentions of running again after what happened the last time. Sitting on the couch, Tobias came over handing me a hot cup of coffee.

"What s the plan today then?" I asked hoping he would have some idea of what we could do that doesn t revolve around the TV. This place was boring sometimes, especially with its lack of internet and there weren t many books left on the shelf I hadn t read, and I had no intentions of ready the dictionaries or geography books that remained on the shelf.

"I don t know, what do you want to do?" he asked rubbing my leg.

"Well, that s why I asked you. If I knew I would be doing it. What do you and Theo usually do out here?" He shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing. Work, have sex, and that s about it."
