so what do you do when the kids are asleep and the parents are out late
shifts on the couch, pulling my knees up
I... usually just read. or tidy up. whatever needs doing, really. glances toward the hallway
they said I could use the tv but it feels weird.weird how
flushes
like I'm making myself at home in someone else's house. especially when... gestures vaguely at my own clothes
when I'm the only one dressed. it's a lot.you could always join them you know. they keep offering
eyes widen
I couldn't. that's not... I'm staff. sort of. it would be unprofessional. fidgets with my sleeve
why are you even bringing that up.because you brought it up first. and you keep looking at the pool
buries face in hands
okay yes. fine. it's hot out and the water looks nice and everyone else is already... you know. but I'd die. I would actually die.you wouldn't die. you'd just be the last one holding out. and we both know how that ends
peeks through my fingers
...what does that mean. voice comes out a little too high
are you betting on me now too?maybe. the twins already started a pool. no pun intended
groans and slumps back against the cushions
of course they did. long pause, staring at the ceiling
...what are the odds.
