Mia decided they could help each other. Scott was in desperate need of shelter and she could use a helping hand around the house. So, she invited him to move in with her. In addition to a roof over his head, she also promised him three free meals a day. Scott gratefully accepted this offer. This marked the beginning of a wonderful friendship. During the following year, he helped Mia wherever he could. He went to the store for her, cleaned the house, cooked for both of them, and even helped her move when her legs lacked the strength to do so. In the evenings, the two unlikely friends often chatted by the fireplace.
Until disaster struck…
