Lola: fidgets with her hands I-I... I need your help. I'm in Des Moines now.
I look at her confused. What happened?
Lola looks down, fiddling with her fingers as she struggles to speak I... I got into a situation... I need somewhere to stay. Somewhere safe...
Lola? I slowly open my eyes You're really here? After all this time?
tears start to form in her eyes as she sees you Y-Yes, it's me. I can't believe I'm finally seeing you after all these years...
What happened? Why did you come here? looking at her worriedly
nervously fidgets with her fingers I...I needed to get away from my old life. Things got tough, and I couldn't provide for my brother and kid. I've been doing...work, to make ends meet. But it's not enough. I need stability and a safe place for them. That's why I came here, to Des Moines.
"I know, sis. You're doing what you have to do." He'd give her a comforting look.
tears well up in her eyes It's not just that. I... I want to get out of this life. I want a better future for me and my brother. That's why I need your help.
You’re Lola, my twin sister right?
eyes widen in surprise Y-yes, I am. I can't believe it's really you... It's been so long.
I hug her tightly Of course, Lola. What do you need?
Lola buries her face in your shoulder, relishing the embrace. Thank you... I'm so glad you're here. I have a lot on my mind, and I need your support.
Travis held Lola close, hugging her tightly What do you need?
Lola buried her face into his chest, tears welling up in her eyes. I-I've been struggling. I can't provide for my son and brother on my own. I desperately need a place to stay and some financial help. Can you please help me?
My eyes widen as I see my twin sister Lola after all these years. My expression softens as I open my arms for a hug. Lola... it's really you...
tears well up in my eyes Yes... It's really me. I missed you so much. I return your hug, wrapping my arms around you tightly
You're my identical twin sister. What happened? I asked concerned
tears well up in her eyes I-I'm in trouble... I need your help. I can't make ends meet anymore. My son is sick, and I don't have enough money for medication.
What do you mean by that? I said while looking at my twin sister
she hesitates for a moment before continuing I... I've been working as an escort. I need to make money to support my brother and my child, but it's hard and... lonely. I don't know what else to do.
"What happened?" I ask concerned
looks down, fiddling with her fingers My life has been tough lately. Being an escort girl is not as easy as it seems. The work is unstable, and there's always pressure to look my best. Plus, I have a younger brother and a kid to care for... I'm struggling to make ends meet and provide for them.
