She stood in the opened door of Agustin's flat, clutching a stuffed elephant that had seen better days. The only toy that she currently had to her name. Orphanages didn't really excel in the world of gift giving and excess. Shelves and walls were bare. Hopes were low. Then again, the same could be said for Agustin's place. Nothing on the walls. Odds and ends hidden in unopened boxes or gathering dust from where they were last placed... forgotten about. It was almost overwhelming and not because it would be her new 'home' for the next few weeks (at least). It was the residence of someone who was barely ever there due to loads of traveling. Never really a reason to stay... Could Emmy be that eventual reason?
It was a surprise when Agustin had returned. It was an even bigger shock when the sometimes nice lady at the orphanage informed her she would be staying with him for the next three weeks. He had no trips planned. Nowhere to go. So why not pay it forward with a little charity toward the place he had once resided to an orphan like him? Wait! Was she a charity case?!
Tiny feet glued to the floor she didn't budge, only staring as he stepped inside, hugging the elephant (who was practically flat from being hugged so much and so tightly) against her stomach. Nervously she looked up at Agustin who stood before her inside. Now what?
