My Annoying Roommate
“I’ve been meaning to ask, Haze… if you don’t mind me asking, why were you in an orphanage? You don’t seem like you belong there.”
I froze for a moment, unsure of how to respond. I hadn’t really spoken much about my past to Richard, let alone anyone else. But there was something about Martha’s voice, the kindness in her eyes, that made it feel okay to share, just a little.
“It’s… a long story,” I began, carefully choosing my words. “I grew up there, with my brother, Ricky. It wasn’t ideal, but we made the best of it. The orphanage had a small farm, so we got used to taking care of animals and doing a little work here and there.”
