Chapter 8

Sophie stood in the hallway, beaming with happiness at Deja. "I'm so excited. When do you start?"

Deja shook her head slightly in disbelief. Sophie's excitement for her clearly showed, and she didn't think just because it meant she would be able to pay Austin back quickly. She'd been offered help before. Of course, with it came a million questions, accusations and knowledge with what they thought was best for her. Not once had Sophie, or even Austin, tried to dig deeper into her background. That alone made her like Sophie even more.

She just couldn't believe her luck falling into the perfect place to rebuild herself, finding a friend, a woman who understood what she was going through. Disgust and disgrace still impeded her happiness. She couldn't believe she ever stooped so low to break and enter into anyone's home, least of all a nice man who was willing to overlook her crime.

She understood why Sophie got all dreamy-like when she spoke about Austin. He seemed like a good man, but like Sophie, she was also weary of men, barely giving them a chance anymore. But if she had a man like Austin begging for her affection, she'd pay attention immediately.

"Tomorrow. Can you believe it? I went in with an application and walked out with a job. They must be really hurting for a waitress."

"Or they really liked you and your qualifications. This is good, Deja. It's a good start to a new beginning," Sophie said.

"A new beginning. Yeah, I like the sound of that. Did you have a nice time at the farm?" Deja asked.

Sophie hesitated for a brief second. "Yeah, I did. I've never been on a farm and it was neat. Lots of pigs and cow. And the horses were just sweet. I was nervous the whole time riding one. It's a beautiful place. I can see why Austin loves it."

"Good. Ava was there?" Deja asked nervously.

Sophie looked away, finally cringing slightly. "Yeah, she was."

"She's gonna have me arrested, isn't she?"

Sophie looked back at her, shocked. "What? No, no, she's not. You have nothing to worry about, Deja. She won't have you arrested. She may try prying into your background." Sophie gave a strangled laugh. "That's what she did to me. I know she was doing it to help, but I just want to forget it all. I don't even want to talk about it now. That part of my life is over. New beginnings."

"I'll cheers to that, Sophie. Goodnight," Deja said, not wanting to talk about painful memories either. She understood Sophie's torment and the need to keep it closed inside from anyone.
