papers without reading them and gave them back to Mr. Jones. Allie hoped that they had trusted the right man to make sure that Megan and Sally stayed safe.
    “Thanks ladies. It has been a pleasure. I will come by in the morning and make sure that everything is going okay.” Becoming suddenly business like, his entire demeanor changed. He seemed to remove himself emotionally now that all of the legalese had been taken care of. As he walked out the door they both followed him with their eyes.
    Allie voiced it first, “He is hot! Girl, I’m glad that you are still married because he has been very attentive to you. He is working very hard to make sure that you are well protected. I don’t think that most women have this much protection in place when they leave their abusive husbands. I know that Mike is a serious threat, but he does seem to be going above the call of duty.”
    Megan looked flustered. “I’m not sure that I will be ready for a new man anytime soon. I am used to having a man who controls everything. Mr. Jones is cute, but he was just taking care of us as a client. I wouldn’t read anything into it. He was just doing his job. I just hope that he can handle what Mike will try to dish out.” She was certain that Mike would fight to keep them; she just hoped that Mr. Jones didn’t get caught in the crossfire.
    “Hey, I wasn’t rushing you. I didn’t expect you to jump his bones. We were simply appreciating what good ‘ass’ets the man has.” Allie winked at her letting her know it was okay to still have a sense of humor. “I’ve got to go get a car seat and swing by my work before I pick Sally up, so I’m going to head on out. I will bring her by when she gets out. I figured we would hang out for a little bit and then we will go out to get something to eat, if that is okay with you?”
    “Sure, I trust you to take care of her. I had forgotten about not having a car seat, so thanks for taking care of that as well. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Megan tried to smile, but leaned back exhausted. “Let the nurse know that I will take some of those good pills so that I will be feeling better when Sally gets here.”
    “Yes, ma’am.” Allie saluted and left to let the nurse know.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter 5
     
     
    Allie picked up Sally, who wanted to go check on her mom, the very first thing. Allie was glad that they could spend time with her for the afternoon. Allie thought just being together would be a good idea so that both Sally and Megan would feel much better about the situation. Allie and Sally only stayed until dinner was brought in leaving Megan to eat in peace.
    After they left, Sally was in a hurry because there were so many more princess movies to watch. There was also an entire day that needed to be relived thru Sally’s eyes. A quick dinner at McDonald’s, then they headed home to do the reading for Sally’s home work. With the promise that she could watch the movie they had picked out after her shower. Sally hurried to finish so that they could get started. Since Sally could take her own showers now, Allie let her. Sally was in such a hurry that Allie had to do a little damage control to make sure that she got all the shampoo out of her hair. Dressed in pjs, Sally got settled down onto the couch so that they could watch Brave. Sally was asleep before her the opening previews were finished.
    Allie left the movie going and decided to start work so that the next day would be a little easier to handle. Allie started with putting orders together on her kitchen table. She needed to get them sorted out so that she could deliver them the next day. An order had arrived this morning, which she had set aside till the chaos had calmed down. Sorting and bagging it didn’t take long, so Allie set the boxes full of orders next to the front door when she noticed someone lurking outside the bushes.
    This person seemed to duck down when she walked by.
