Where The Heart Is (CheekyGimpGames) - #6 Zarah The Cheetah By MissKitty2K

Tell me, to mind my own business. But...

You can ask me anything.

Do you have anywhere to live at the moment?

Well, I have some savings, so I've been staying at a hotel for the past couple of nights.

Since my dad's girlfriend told me I wasn't welcome, I moved out.

And are you planning on going back to a hotel after a visit?

Yes, just for a few days until I find...

No!

What do you mean?

I mean you're not going to a hotel, you're staying here for as long as you want.

No, I couldn't.

Please, Colvin, I'm not just being polite, I want you to stay here.

I know you don't have any family, and I promised your mom years ago I would always look after you.

And I broke that promise when she died. I'll let your dad take you away.

You had no choice. You didn't have any rights, I know you tried.

Maybe I could have done more.

Don't say that, Monica. I'm sure you tried your best. I'll stay.

Will you?

Thank you for your offer. I'd love to stay. Until I get myself sorted.

Oh, Colvin! That's fantastic! You've made me so happy!

I wasn't sure how you'd react. I wanted you to know I was doing it out of love, not pity.
