It had been a couple of months almost since the Dome and the weird magic light show had done what they'd done. Allison knew she was hardly the least fortunate person to get hit by it all. People had lost entire families. But she'd grown fairly close to the household. She'd even enjoyed mocking and being mocked by Church, of all people. She had lost more than just her employers. It had taken the majority of her friends.
She still loved the theater but, like she'd tried to explain to Vanya, she missed being on stage. Yes, it probably made her one of those snobby actresses who found behind the scenes work beneath them, but acting had become a part of her. It was more than a career, it was her life. Costuming would never be her passion and unfortunately, it showed in her work. And being a junior costumer meant the money just wasn't there. Seeing as he was, by all rights, only thirteen, it wasn't like Five could go out and support them. So she really did need to find a more reliable part time job.
The local paper was spread in front of her, a cup of something sweet and frothy beside her. She had a highlighter in her hand, checking off anything that sounded like she could do it silently. There really weren't nearly enough office jobs in this small town. And most of the ones there were required phone work. Phone work was even more difficult than in person. At least in person, she had her tablet.
