[QUOTE="Mayflower1, post: 75593838, member: 132617"] Lorena shook knocking on the door. "What if...what if he doesn't take me in?" Aunt Murtle opened the door and hesitated a moment before remembering who she was. "Lorena? Is that you? Oh Lorena! It is! The Lord brought you home to us. Praise God. Thank you God." She said, embracing her in a hug. "But how? How did you get here? Why are you here?" Lorena was at a loss for words, tears of relief and joy in her eyes. She pointed over at Peter unhinging her car. "Is that, Peter? He helped you? This is getting to be a pretty exciting Christmas Eve for sure. Come in, come in!" "I think not, Murtle." A voice came racing downstairs. It was Jim, and he wore a firm look on his face. "She has been into drugs the last, what, Lorena, 8 years? 10? "I...I have been clean a month now. I was looking to come home...start over...h-hi Uncle Jim." "You can stay at the shelter until you can prove us that." He said. Lorena nodded in tears. "Come here." He said, wrapping his arms around her in a hug. He may have showed tough love, but he really was a caring man. "I am glad you came home." He said. "You said Peter is here?" Lorena nodded. "Murtle, please open the shelter and get her settled in there. Check to make sure she is clean." Lorena's feelings were hurt, but knew it was to be expected . She was determined to gain back some trust. She walked feeling a little bit relieved and small, walking to Murtle's car. "You have to be tough on the girl?" Murtle said. "She just came home. It is Christmas Eve. We should invite her in here for Christmas instead of going to town. Sam has been trying to get through too, but the phone lines are down. He has been sending one of those telegraphs." "Ill check it in a little bit. I need to see what Peter wants." Jim said. "As far as Lorena goes, she needs to be drug tested and observed before I would even think of her coming into this house." "Well it is a miracle, even if you are playing tough cop." Jim gave a half grin back. She gave a bright smile and waved at Peter, before meeting Lorena at the car. "Love you, Murtle." He said, kissing her on the cheek before walking off towards Peter. Jim sighed heavily and walked out to Peter. "Thanks for stopping to help Lorena." He said, pulling out his wallet. "How much do I owe you for towing her car? Know Sam plans to come home for Christmas tomorrow, so I might have to pay you some later." [/QUOTE]
