Episode Twenty Five: What a beautiful girl
“Get out!” Mike Minor said, without really meaning it.
The woman who had been making his bed shrugged. “Sure thing, Mike. But, can I finish? All I have to do is put a clean pillow case on, and then I’m outta here.”
Now it was Minor’s turn to shrug. “Whatever.”
Charlene turned and went back into the small bedroom. Mike Minor sat down, and thought about watching the O’Rourke show, but he had enough to deal with as it was.
“All done, Mike.” She came out of the bedroom, opened the front door of the cabin, and tossed his old linen into her cart. “It was nice meeting you.”
Mike Minor thought, What a beautiful girl. “Please don’t tell anyone I’m staying here.”
“I won’t. I promise. You know, there are only six of these cabins, but they’re not close to each other at all. You have two more days here, and you probably won’t see another person.”
“Good.”
“I want you to know I’ll be praying for you, Mike.”
Mike Minor scowled, and pointed to the door. “Get out.”
