Chapter 7
.
As Wesley returned home he ran into his landlord. This past month Wesley had tried to avoid his landlord, he was late getting the money he needed. But today, the landlord assured Wesley they were good, someone had paid Wesley's back-rent, and his rent for the next three months. The landlord didn't specifically say who paid this rent, but it wasn't hard to figure out. Wesley had only one friend who was both willing and able to do this for him. Sure enough Virginia was in his apartment.

Wesley: Thank you for helping me with my rent.
Virginia: It was the least I could do. Also I paid your utilities and your tab at the grocery store.
Wesley: I've been so busy lately I forgot about little things like bills.
Virginia: You don't have to be embarassed with me. You did the right thing, and your friends betrayed you for it. Not to mention, how I abandoned you.
Wesley: I'll admit, that stung. But you have given my life purpose when I needed some. I've been following your father, weaknesses in his security. He's a good actor, convincing Janet he'll be a good father. If I didn't know his past, I would think he was sincere.
Virginia: I appreciate all you've done for me and my little sibling. I've been working on a plausible story to tell Janet later, about how my father died. I'll make sure her baby is safe, taken care of. Have you given any thought to after this?
Wesley: It has made me realize I can still fight the forces of evil, get payed when neccessary. I supposse I can start my own team.
Virginia: Sounds good. I was thinking, maybe, we can give our relationship another try.
Wesley: Perhaps. I can't make any promises. But it'll be a few days before I can put my plan into action.
Virginia: So you have nothing else to do today?
Wesley: Nothing set in stone. Would you like to go on a date today?
Virginia: I was thinking more like we stay in today.
Wesley: I'm okay with that too.
