"Here we are," Jane said as they pulled up to a small one story house. "Are you sure you're going to be okay here?"
"Yeah..." Marie replied as she started getting her stuff out of the trunk. "Where will I sleep?"
"Here, let me help you with that," Jane said and took two of the bags. "I have a guest bedroom down the hall, you can sleep there."
"Sounds good," Marie said as they headed inside. Marie looked around, it was a pretty nice house all things considered. They walked down the hall to the guest bedroom, which was pretty simple, just had a bed and furniture.
"I know its not much, but once you get more money we can go shopping so you can decorate it like you want," Jane said. "I put some of my old clothes in the dresser if you need any."
