| Bo/Addie - The Shelter |
[26 Nov 2008|10:54pm] |
Bo opened the door to the shelter and scanned the large, crowded room for one particular person. He felt his heart sink as he watched all the people, young and old, looking so needy. It almost made him feel selfish. Here he was, dressed in decent clothes with a wonderful wife and beautiful children waiting for him at their house.
"Are you looking for someone?"
The voice made him a jump and he turned to see a young woman smiling at him. He returned the smile and nodded. "Yeah, I'm looking for an older woman. She goes by the name of Addie?"
"Hmm, Addie," the woman contemplated before nodding. "Oh, Addie! Of course. She's a sweet woman. She should be close by; it's near lunch time and she's always the first to get her plate."
Bo chuckled lightly. "Thank you."
The woman smiled again and left Bo to his search. He walked a couple more paces in before suddenly spotting the familiar face that belonged to non-other than Addie herself.
"Addie?" Bo asked gently, slowly approaching the older woman.
