Cherry Baby

Chapter 51

Cherry

Hey, I need you to do me a favor.

Hope

Let’s hear it.

Cherry

I need you to tell everybody that Tom’s coming today, and I need you to tell them not to make a big deal out of it.

Hope

WHY IS TOM COMING?

Cherry

Because he doesn’t have anywhere else to go.

Hope

You know that it’s no longer your job to take care of him, right?

Especially after everything he’s done.

Cherry

I’m not sure that’s true.

Everything is hard enough. I don’t want to be angry with him anymore.

Hope

I guess that’s your prerogative.

Cherry

Will you tell everyone not to be weird? Or rude? Tell them to be good Christians.

Hope

I can try.
