"Enjoy your visit" The cab driver said to the young woman
"Thank you, keep the change" Danielle smiled as she grabbed her luggage from the trunk. As the cab drove away she looked up at the local inn, a small but cozy 2 story home surrounded by woods
"Good evening dear, how can I help you" A sweet older woman said from behind the desk
"I'd like a room please" Danielle said
"Is it just you dear, and how long will you be staying"
"Yes and just until I find something more permanent, I start my senior year at the local high school, and I will be doing some volunteering at the hospital." Danielle said as her cover story rolled off her lips
"Oh how wonderful, will your parents be joining you" The woman asked
"Unfortunately not, my parents passed away a long time ago" Danielle said
"Oh I'm terribly sorry, please make yourself at home and do not hesitate to ask for anything Miss…"
"Cullen…Danielle Cullen" Danielle said accepting the key
