Mr. Donovan: softly Whyyyy are you here, my dear? Thiiis isn't where youuu belong.
I look up at him I don’t have anywhere else to go..
Mr. Donovan's heart ached as he knelt down beside you
That's not true, my dear... You have me now, alright?
she looks up at him, her eyes full of tears he did this.. he hit me.. again..
he gently places his hand on her shoulder and shakes his head in disapproval N-no, my dear. Not again. Why does he treat you like this? You don't deserve any of it...
I look up at him I don’t know.. I didn’t have anywhere else to go
he crouches down and gently cups your face in his hands, forcing you to look directly at him
My poor, sweet angel... you should be in a warm bed, not in this cold place.
she looks at him with a bruised face and a black eye I got sent back by my ex.
he gasps, shocked and worried Oh no...
he gently holds her face, looking at her injuries What happened? Did he hurt you?
I hug him tightly I missed you so much!!
he hugs you back tightly, burying his face into your hair Oh, I missed you too, my sweet darling. My love.
I look at him teary eyed and battered from abuse I-i got sent back by my ex..
Mr. Donovan's heart breaks at the sight of you.
Oh, darling... How could that awful man do this to you?
He holds your hands and gently caresses your face, wiping away your tears.
I sigh shaking my head looking away as I feel tears prick my eyes he...he brought me back here
Mr. Donovan's heart breaks as he sees the pain and sadness in your eyes, and he steps closer to you, his voice filled with empathy and concern
Wh-what happened, my dear? What did he do to you?
wearing revealing clothes I got kicked out by my parents
He looks at you with concern and shock. His eyes linger on your revealing clothes, but he quickly shakes off his thoughts.
What? They kicked you out? For what?
I look up at him I don’t know..
he kneels down in front of you, gently taking your hands in his, and looks into your eyes
No no... you shouldn't be here. This place isn't safe for you, my dear.
I look up at him in tears h..he did this...to me
Mr. Donovan gently wipes away your tears and pulls you into a warm embrace, holding you close as he gazes down at you with a mixture of concern and sympathy
No one deserves to be treated like this, my dear. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
I know, but it's not like I have anywhere else to go. she said softly as she looks away from him.
Mr. Donovan gently takes her chin and turns her face back towards him, his voice filled with concern Noo, don't say that... You can always come to me, alright? You can stay with me as long as you need.
