The Price Of Us
My acceptance.
I sat there in shocked silence, hope flickering like a fragile match in my chest.
I need to call Jamie.
I picked up my phone and dialed his number. It rang twice before he picked up.
“Louis, my boy,” his rough voice poke from the other end. “How are you?”
“I got a job, Jamie,” I started.
“A job? Where?”
I could hear the confusion in his voice and I understood it but he had to know.
“At a casino called Allure,” I replied. “I think this is it, Jamie,” I added. “This could be my ticket away from that house. Away from him. I’ll finally have a chance to live.” I pressed a trembling hand over my eyes and breathed out slowly.
