By the time that I finished, I felt refreshed. I had probably spent an hour and a half underneath the warm water, reveling in the feeling of getting clean. The mission let us shower, yet they didn't seem to have enough clothes for everyone there, so we just got dirty all over again. Plus, they only let us use them for five minutes. It seemingly defeated the purpose of taking a shower, but I didn't think about it for very long because I was just excited to feel clean. My face was freshly shaven. My thick, dirty brown hair was combed. Then I went to reach for my clothes and I remembered I had agreed to let Ella wash them. I wasn't prepared to let her see me in a towel.

I sat in the bathroom by myself for a little while, hoping that I could get away with waiting until she finished the laundry. I knew that plan wasn't going to work when I heard a knock on the door.

“Hey, I have food for you!” Ella yelled through the door. “Listen, you can't stay here all night so I really need you to eat and get your things and go!”

With a heavy sigh, I wrapped the towel around my waist and emerged from the bathroom. Her face flushed and surprise was etched into her expression. I couldn't tell whether she was embarrassed to see me virtually naked or if she just didn't recognize me.

“You look—I mean—you look like a different person!”

I scratched the back of my head.

“Yeah, homelessness will change a guy,” I muttered. “Sorry, I don't mean to be holding you up or anything, I just didn't—”

“It's fine. I made grilled cheese,” she said, grabbing my arm. “Come on!”

She pulled me towards the small kitchenette. There was no table, but there was a small island with bar stools. A grilled cheese sandwich was on a paper plate on the counter-top. Beside it was an open beer. I sat down and took a sip of beer before biting into the sandwich. I had forgotten how good a grilled cheese could taste.

“This is amazing,” I said, my mouth full. “Thank you so much.”

“You're welcome,” she replied, smiling, pulling herself onto the edge of the counter-top.

She sat there, kicking her dangling legs and smiling at me. It seemed strange that she wasn't entirely upset about what had happened to her in the alleyway. A little upset by the situation, I drank a good portion of the beer at once and looked up at her.

“So does your husband treat you like that all the time?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ella frowned.

“He's my fiancé, and no, he doesn't,” she replied. “He only does it when he's sick.”

I raised an eyebrow as I shoved the rest of the grilled cheese into my mouth.

“Sick?”

She sighed.

“You know...dope sick,” she whispered.

I chuckled.

“I'm not a cop. You don't need to whisper that. And that's not an excuse. I'm a drunk and I'd never hit a woman,” I murmured. “You think he'll ever get help?”

She glared at me.
