Rushing to the farm, the tractor driver handed his house keys to a vagrant woman with a kid. But when he returned from his shift, he peeked through the window and WAS STUNNED…

A shadow crossed her face. — We probably need to move on. We’ve already abused your hospitality.

William raised his eyebrows in surprise. — Are you in a hurry somewhere? — No, we have nowhere to hurry. Anna, that’s what the young woman was called, came out to him from the room where she was putting Johnny to bed an hour later.

She sat at the table. Will stood up. Poured tea for her and himself.

She thanked him and looked at him with huge blue eyes. — Don’t think we’re some homeless, it’s just everything went wrong somehow. Once I went to study and made a very big mistake, trusting one guy.

No, I don’t regret anything because I have Johnny. But I had to return to the small town, to mom, who at that time married a young man. Mom wasn’t happy about my return.

As I later understood, she was worried about her young husband. Johnny was born. It seemed like everything normalized more or less.

True, I couldn’t get a job because mom hung all the household on me. Living without your own money isn’t particularly pleasant. But Johnny, my so-called stepdad, bought everything.

And for me? I didn’t need anything. Then the stepdad decided that mom was too old for him, and I suited much better. I sent him away right away, sorry.

But mom somehow found out everything. She decided that only I was to blame. I was the one flirting. And my own mother together with the stepdad decided that for their complete family, they needed my Johnny.

And I needed to be kicked out. Mom said she’d deprive me of parental rights in no time. I have no job, sitting on their necks, and the rest can be made up.

So I ran away with Johnny. Only I’m sure they’ll look for us. My mom won’t just calm down.

Will thoughtfully twirled his spoon. Here’s the thing, Anna, stay with me for now, until we figure something out. I’m hardly ever home anyway, so you won’t bother me at all, and I’ll find out what’s what…
