Chapter 30: Sneaky

Ben didn't ask me what had happened. He only petted my head, smoothing my hair as I laid my head down and was crying on his middle console. When we got to my house he made sure I was ok before he left.

I smiled, as the sign advertised the book but it was sold out and there will be more coming in at a later date. I had no idea my creativity was good enough to get me this far and only at twenty-one. Of course, Vincent always sent me a copy of my books for my own library.
