Sara
I moved slowly through the kitchen looking in the cupboards and the fridge. It was stocked full of food, but I couldn’t decide what I wanted. It took me a minute to realize what I wanted was a burger and milkshake from work. I felt too drained and consumed to think about anything else.
I went through the house and looked for Ron or someone else I recognized who could drive me. I wanted my car; I wanted to drive myself. I wanted to get my food and then drive until I had a solution for everything going on.
“Ms. Sara, can I help you?” Ron asked as I rounded the corner and looked into Jaxon’s home office.
“Can you drive me to Mabel’s Diner?” I asked hesitantly.
He frowned at me. “I wasn’t aware you had a shift today….” Ron looked frustrated and concerned.
I shrugged and smiled lightly. “I don’t. We don’t need to stay long… I was just hoping for a burger and fries, maybe a milkshake. Please, Ron?” I muttered. I half smiled at him.
