TANNER
Why are you still here?
It's a question I asked myself two hours later. I brought this girl to this house because it's a place I know he'll never have use for again. This house is a place I don't want to be in at all of I can help it.
Yet, I find myself reluctant to leave the girl until I'm sure she's settled in.
"She's not your responsibility." I said out loud to the empty room. I need to be on my way....and two bottles of beer in hand too.
Job. I'll help her secure a job and then I'm gone. That decided, I stepped out of the room.
"You're done with your bath and that of Jaimie's?" I asked staring at her on the bed.
She had put on a nicely fit simple dress from the clothes I bought for her. I don't know why I should feel pleased that the cloth fit but I did.
"Yes, I'm done." She replied in that soft voice of hers.
"I've decided to help you get a job." I stated.
