“I called the academy for young adults and I explained your case” Annabel said, as she put a stack of study 本 on the table. “They understand your position, although they were a little skeptical. They didn’t really understand why a murder convict would need a high school degree”
Deb picked up the book that was on 上, ページのトップへ of the stack. “Did あなた have to buy these?” she asked, feeling like she took advantage of her sister. “They look expensive”
“They were, but it’s okay” Annabel shrugged. “You’ll pay me back one day”
“So, that means あなた have a job” Deb figured, with a little whiff of proud in her voice.
“Yeah, but it’s nothing huge” Annabel replied, dismissively. “I stack stuff. I want to try and see if I can get something better, but right now I’m just glad I have a job”
“I would give pretty much everything to be stacking stuff, right now” Deb mumbled, pitiful. “I was going to start a new life, but, of course, I had to fall in 愛 with a douchebag. But that was the last time. I’m never dating guys again. I will never trust them again. And I, sure as hell, won’t let them inside my heart. I’m not saying I won’t fall in 愛 anymore, but if it happens, I will fight it. I will not give in”
Annabel pressed her lips. “I guess this is not the right time to tell あなた about my new boyfriend?” she asked carefully.

Rob returned with a notepad, and a pen. He gave both items to Deb and sat down. “They’ll be here soon” he explained. “They asked if あなた could write your statement down, and sign it. It would save them some time, and they would see it as a sign of cooperation. It’s really important that あなた cooperate, Deb. Do あなた understand that?”
Deb nodded scared. What the hell had she gotten herself into?
Rob nodded at the notepad. “Just remember what I told you, and write it down”
Deb gazed at the notepad, swallowed, and opened it. The blank page, staring back at her, looked so uninviting she wanted to shut the book, and smash it against the wall.
“You can do it” Rob encouraged her softly. “I’ll be with you, every step of the way”
Those words seemed to do the trick, because Deb conjured a faint smile, and started writing…
