Chapter Ten

Penny

The men are working in the back, so I’m a little nervous opening the door. “I’m so glad I get to come over and help you today, Penny!” Tess says before the door is all the way open. She’s so excited I laugh. She hugs me and steps in.

“Do you want some coffee?” I ask, closing the door and flipping the lock. Digs doesn’t lock it all the time unless he’s leaving. Since he’s not here, I’m locking it.

We get our coffee and sit at the table. “Amanda worked all night on your tattoo and wants us to meet her today. She’s so excited to do this for you.”

“Does it hurt? On the scars, I mean. I told Digs I wanted this, but I’m a little nervous.”

“Oh no, it’s not even close to the pain of getting the scars and I even fell asleep while they were doing it. Bring your iPod and listen to your favorites.” She giggles and it sounds like music. She’s so cute.

I think about when he squirted the stuff on me and remember thinking I was going to die this time. “I was talking back to him when he squirted it on me this time, but I was so scared. I told him he wasn’t important to me anymore. Jiminy, he was mad, but I didn’t let him see how scared I was.”

She gets the biggest smile and I wonder why. “That’s what bravery is. Being scared and having the courage to do it anyway! I’m so proud of you, Penny!”

“Wow. I was brave.” I stood up to him even when I was tied up. “I even hit him. I think I broke his nose.”

She looks serious. “Good for you! He deserved it. Some people are just bad. We don’t always see them right away, though.” I get that scary shiver down my back but don’t say anything. She waves her hand. “Enough about that. How are you and Digs doing?”

I smile. Just hearing his name makes me smile. “Good. He’s been perfect.” I feel the heat on my face remembering the ice cream last night. It works the same for women.

She giggles. “Yay! I knew you’d be perfect for each other. It will be good, Penny.”

I nod and I’m so glad, but it’s weird that she knows. “Did Amanda give a time to meet her?”

“In a half hour. Colby will take us over.”

She must be under lockdown still for HS to be driving her around. “She’s just showing me, right? I’m still sore.”

“Oh, yes. She’ll show you what she thinks will look best and you get to pick colors and stuff, but she will have it on the computer so you can see how it will look. After we see her we’re going to the Kids Club to see Jeremy and Brenna.”

“Fiddlesticks! I need to get dressed.” I jump up.

She gets up too. “I’ll help you. That’s why I’m here.” I’m glad. I can’t do much more than a ponytail in my hair without feeling like I’m going to rip the darn skin apart on my stomach.
