It was great to see her home, he had a crappy day, meeting Dad after the revelation, his accountant shredding him for some over due payments from customers, and the intense heat after each rain was just making him miserable

He looked shocked
"And?
"He might ask me to leave... for now, he said I could go home she said emotionless
"Uh... I am SO SORRY
"That's fine... Thanks... she nodded it hurt her like hell
