Anna did as she was told & continued with all the other chores Randy gave her until 8:30 that night. Anna heard the bell ring on the door & she heard Jack’s voice. “Hey Randy I’m back! Here’s all the info ya need.”
“That’s my boy Jack.” Randy laughed.
“Where’s Anna?” Jack said casually.
“She’s in the back.”
Anna could hear Jack’s footsteps & she suddenly panicked, not knowing what she looked like. Jack could never find out about her lunch. She quickly yanked her hair out of a ponytail & fixed it so a lot of it covered her eyes.
“Hey there,” Jack walked in.
Anna didn’t look all the way up, but smiled & said ‘hey’ back.
“Randy got cha workin hard?” he asked casually again.
Ok good, he hasn’t noticed…
“Mhm.” Anna tried to say as little as possible for fear of choking up in the middle of a sentence.
“Ready to go home?”
“Yah, just let me run to the bathroom real quick.” Anna was pleased with herself for saying that all in one tone. She stood up & quickly went out the door without looking at Jack.
