New Home

Anna locked the door, and made sure the blinds were closed nice and tight before changing back into her own clothes.

Stephanie must’ve washed them. she thought as she noticed there weren’t any blood stains.

She didn’t wake Taylor up; he looked too peaceful. So he laid asleep on her shoulder as she signed out of the hospital, and caught a bus back to her hotel.

She went to the front desk and explained that the room she’d been living in could now be labeled as vacant.

Finally Taylor woke up, but he didn’t ask any questions as Anna set him down so he could hold her hand & walk beside her. Together they just walked silently.

Anna finally made it to the newspaper shop. She smiled in relief when she found what she was looking for. It was even better than what she was looking for.

A hotel about a 5 min walk to the newspaper shop.

She picked Taylor up and pointed at the hotel, “This is gonna be our new home baby,”
Taylor nodded, and hugged her neck tightly.
