Hey Cruel World.

Lily-White

We left the pet store with our new addition. A tiny white puppy. Marilyn was holding her like a baby as she licked his face. It was a sight to see, it really was. We got into Marilyn's Audi and drove off, the tiny pup on my lap. Twiggy had suggested names for the puppy such as Rex and Dexter, but Marilyn wanted it to be something sweet.

Lily-white we had all agreed on. We drove for awhile but i was confused why we passed the house. Where were we going? We kept driving until we cane to a tiny strip mall at the bad side of town. This was odd.

Marilyn and Twiggy got out of the car and Twiggy helped me out of the backseat. Marilyn held Lily-White. We walked into the tiny mall, I looked over at the directory, most of it was offices and insurance brokers. I couldn't think of any reason we would be here. Marilyn leaded us towards the washrooms where we waited outside while he went in the one marked mens. After a half hour or so Twiggy and I decided to play with Lily-White, whose leash was tied to a doorknob to keep her from running away. Finally Marilyn walked out of the restroom, his face was makeup free and his hair looked decent, almost business man like. Twiggy, who wasn't wearing any make up raised his eye brow. Marilyn shot him a scowl as he untied Lily-White from the doorknob. Together we walked through the long hallways of the mall. Marilyn's boots clicking loudly every step. Suddenly he stopped and spun on his heals. I turned around to see what he was looking at.

A door marked Adoption Agency.

I looked at him and he passed Lily-White to Twiggy, grabbed my hand and we walked to a secluded corner.

He held my tiny hands with his large pale ones.

'Autumn, I have been thinking....'

I looked him in the eyes.

'Seeing as you don't have anyone to take care of you....' he continued.

'Would you be alright with me adopting you?'
