"To be honest," I say with sudden realisation that I have nowhere to go "I don't even know." a real tears slips down my cheek.
"We could offer you a spare room in our house?" he says casually. So, a stranger is asking me if I want to live with him and his mystery wife. "Obviously there will be papers to fill in and all that stuff. But, you see, Sarah can't have children and we've always wanted to adopt." I'm kind of frozen. He. Wants. To. Adopt . Me. I thought I would survive on the streets for a while, maybe live in a cheap hotel, I never expected someone to have an interest in having me as a daughter when my parents spent most of their time trying to get rid of me.
"Are you being serious?!"
"Only if you want to. I'll have to tell the mistress, though. But she will definitely agree." He says cheerfully. I need to meet "the mistress".
