“It’s okay, you just book a time and I’ll sort something out,” I reply, not wanting to put Hank out.
“You can always stay with my friend, Barry. That’s where I’ll end up,” he says with a crinkled smile. “I’m sure Barry will love to brag to his friends how a young lady like you will be staying with him. Of course, he’ll leave out the part where I’ll be staying there also.”
I can’t help but laugh. “It’s fine, really. I’ll make some arrangements.” Hank has done more than enough for me, so I refuse to let him worry about yet another thing.
“Okay, child. Have a good day at work. I’ll call and let you know about the extermination.”
Where can I stay? I could always find another motel, but I know how much they cost, and with money being as tight as it is, it just feels like money wasted.
