I recieved a text from Joseph.
'Downstairs now, are you ready?'
I replied,
' Yes will be down in a minute.'
' Want a muffin from the cafe?' he messaged.
' I wouldn't be seen dead eating from there :)'
' Suit yourself more for me'
Grabbing Lori, we headed down the lift, Mr Hope wandered in halfway and put his pity face on.
" Ah, Jac I heard about your mother, so sorry."
" She's with the angels now Mr Hope."
" Right yes the angels." he replied smiling, with a confused look, he glanced over at me and I had to bit my lip from laughing.
The door finally opened and he politly dismissed himself as we walked out of the hospital.
Joseph in his suit as always was waiting for us by his car.
" Oh is Joseph driving us home?" asked Lori
I was about to correct her when Joseph cut in.
" Ah, yes Miss Naylor is letting me stay for a few nights."
I raised my eyebrows and he stammered wanting me to play along.
" Aw, Jac your so nice." she said jumping into the backseat.
Once out of earshot I was going to ask why,
" Thank you, I don't have the energy to explain today."
" Oh I know." he slid the house keys over the roof of his car.
" Thanks." I smiled feebly while we got into the car.
