204- Adapt and adjust

The next few days pass almost too quickly. Bellamy and I have our meeting with Sara and her father. He was a little curious as to why I was there, but he didn’t say anything. He wasn’t pleased, but he did agree to back off of Sara a little bit and seemed to appreciate the added security that we are arranging for the university students. On the drive home, Bellamy is grumbling about it.

“He was barely polite to you.” He complains. I roll my eyes.

I just don’t feel right sending her away when she isn’t ready to speak up for herself yet. She has improved a lot, she smiles a lot more and she adores the jewellery making stuff I got her. She is currently wearing at least five bracelets and two n*cklaces that she made herself.
