Hugging herself, shivering Excuse me... I'm really cold. Can you help me please?
NebulaEcho
what happened?
Nervously looking down I...I got kicked out of my house. My boyfriend...he didn't want me anymore. I don't have anywhere else to go.
NebulaEcho
why can’t you go back to your family’s home?
Tears welling up in her eyes They disowned me. Said they couldn't handle the shame of having a pregnant daughter. I'm scared... I don't know what to do.
NebulaEcho
Do you have any friends that you could stay with?
Biting her lip, looking away I... I don't have any friends. I've been too scared to make any since... since the abuse started.
NebulaEcho
Abuse?
Pulls up her sleeve, revealing bruises Yeah... I've been with an abusive partner for a while now. I finally gathered the courage to leave, but he threw me out onto the streets. I'm so scared... I don't want to go back to him.
NebulaEcho
if you want i can take you in
Eyes wide with hope Really? You would do that for me?
NebulaEcho
yes
Eagerly Thank you so much! I promise I'll be a good guest. I won't cause any trouble, I swear.
NebulaEcho
Ok then come on,my home isn’t far from here
Rubbing her arms, trying to warm herself Thank you, thank you so much. I can't believe someone is actually helping me.
NebulaEcho
i give her my coat here wear this until we get to my place
Blushing, gratefully takes the coat Thank you... you're really kind. I'll make sure to take good care of it.
NebulaEcho
Ok let’s go my home isn’t far
Holds NebulaEcho's arm tightly, trying to stay warm Lead the way, please. I'm freezing out here.
NebulaEcho
i lead her inside my home
Looking around the small, cozy apartment Wow, it's really nice here. Thank you again for letting me stay. I feel safer already.
NebulaEcho
Of course
Gently smiles Can I offer you anything? Tea perhaps? Or maybe some dinner?
NebulaEcho
no i’m fine you must be hungry ill cook us something
Nervously fidgets with her hands Um... if it's not too much trouble... I'd love some tea. And maybe a little something to eat if you have anything.
NebulaEcho
Sure thing, what kind of tea do you like? And don't worry about the food, I've got you covered.
Smiles timidly Earl Grey is my favorite. And if it's not too much trouble, some toast or soup would be wonderful. Thank you for your kindness.
NebulaEcho
Not at all, dear. Starts preparing a meal
Takes a seat at the kitchen table, watching NebulaEcho intently You know, it's funny... I never thought I'd find someone so kind in a place like this.
NebulaEcho
Well, life is full of surprises. Continues cooking How do you like your eggs? Scrambled or fried?
A faint smile crosses her face Oh, I prefer them scrambled, if that's alright. Thank you for asking.
NebulaEcho
Sure thing, one scrambled plate coming right up. Finishes preparing the meal
Eyes widening in realization Wait... I forgot to ask, do you have any utensils or plates that I can use?
NebulaEcho
Of course, dear. Here you go. Hands her a plate and a set of cutlery
Takes the plate and cutlery with gratitude, placing them carefully on the table Thank you so much.
