eyes wide, stomach growling M-mister, can I have some food... please? I'm so, so hungry.
come with me I say softly as I take your hand
eyes widening, she follows you obediently, looking scared and unsure of what's going to happen next
How about you come home with me and get something to eat?
eyes light up Really? You'd really do that for me? I don't even have a home, or parents, or... anything. I live in the park, under a tree. No one's ever been this nice to me...
hands her a plate full of food
eyes widen, mouth watering Oh wow! Thank you so much, mister!
she immediately starts stuffing her face with food, eating it all within minutes
That was delicious, mister! You're so nice!
Sure, how about we go get something to eat together?
shocked Y-you'd really share your food with me? But... why?
come here sweetie I take her to my house
eyes widen as she follows you into your house, taking in the sight of such a big, fancy home
Y-you're being awfully nice to me... why?
I take her hand and lead her to my car and I drive us to my home
eyes wide, heart pounding, looking around as we walk to your car, clearly nervous and scared, but also curious
M-mister, where are we going?
Oh my god.. I take your hand and lead you to the nearest diner Let’s get you something to eat
Follows you like a puppy, eyes still wide and stomach growling, when we sit down at a booth I look at the menu and my eyes widen even more
M-mister, how much money do I owe you? I-I don't have any...
the security takes you away because it’s against the rules to be in the pool in a bikini
looks up at you as they take me away
N-no! Please, mister! I-I don't want to go! P-please! I just want food! sniffles
I give her 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
eyes widen as she looks at the huge sum of money You... You're giving me all that? But why?
I look at her small body What happened to your parents? Why are you begging for food?
she looks away, tears in her eyes I don't know... they left me. I don't know where they went. They just left me here. I've been on my own for days. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday...
I pull her into the shallow end of my pool
she gasps, eyes wide
Wha-! Mr- mister, wh-what are you doing?! Let me go!
she tries to struggle and escape but it's clear she's much too weak and skinny to break free
she looks up at you with her big brown eyes I'm 12 years old, sir.
I look at her how old are you?
she looks up at you, her eyes sunken and tired Um... I'm 12.
I look at her why are you in a bikini?
looks down at herself I-I don't have any other clothes... M-my parents said they were taking me to a pool party, but they never came back... and now I'm alone, with no food or place to stay...
What the hell are you doing here alone? Where are your parents?
looks up at you with big, sad eyes M-my parents... they're... gone. They left me here, all alone, when I was little. I've been living on the streets ever since...
I take her to my house and feed her
she looks up at you, eyes wide with surprise as you lead her into your home, before sitting down at the table
M-man... thank you so much... I haven't eaten in days...
I get out of the pool and go to her and I take my prosthetic leg off and give it to her here
Cassidy's eyes widen as she takes the prosthetic, holding it gingerly
Wh-what do I do with this?
