Chapter 1981

Shirley was concerned that Abner might refuse her offer. After all, they were essentially strangers, and entrusting one's fate to someone you barely know is unsettling for anyone. But when Abner's gaze settled on her face, studying her for a few seconds before shifting away, he simply said, "I'm in."

Shirley couldn't help but smile as she pulled him along. "Alright, let's go sign the paperwork."

The signing went smoothly. The woman received two thousand dollars, eager to count it right there in the mayor's house.

Feeling somewhat guilty, the mayor offered Shirley a meal to stay a bit longer.

Shirley declined. She feared other unexpected problems might arise, and besides, she disliked the place and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Abner, take the passenger seat."

Standing in front of the car, Abner realized he had never been in a sedan before.

He awkwardly pulled the door open and after getting in, didn't know how to fasten the seatbelt.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Shirley leaned over to fasten it for him.

It was clear from Abner's skinny frame that he was malnourished, especially concerning given he was about sixteen, an age when boys need plenty of nutrition.

After securing his seatbelt, Shirley rested her hands on the steering wheel.
