You had met Lucy in a strange way.

You’d been homeless for years. Ever since your father died and your mother left, you’ve been on your own.

She found you after the unfortunate yet lucky events of you stealing her car and her lending it to you.

But the selling the car wasn’t enough to rent an apartment or even a motel. And it wasn’t enough to stop the homeless shelter for kicking you out due to too many people.

You sleep on the streets for weeks. It gets colder and colder at night and staying warm gets harder.

You manage to remember Lucy’s number and call her on an old phone.

After a few rings she answers.

“This is Lucy. Who’s this?”
