"I suppose there isn't really any reason for you to stay now."
She sat up, holding the sheet to her chest with one hand.
"How should I contact you...later? When I know?"

Guess not.
"Le Rogue et L'Epine," he said. "Brandi runs the inn. You can come on by or send a note--whatever you like."
He pulled his jeans on, his legs over the side of the bed, so as not to offend her with any unnecessary nudity. He stood to button his fly, then pulled on his shirt. And, blushing, handed her a check.
"Um. Don't take this the wrong way. But we've been payin' expenses for the girls. I hope you'll take it as as sign of our gratitude."

She blinked down at the check and slowly extended a hand to take it from him, feeling as though she should be offended but also thinking that perhaps the time had passed for normal human emotions.
"Thank you. I'll let you know...as soon as I know, I suppose."
She stood, still holding the sheet around herself, because it seemed rude to lay in bed and watch him leave by himself. So she'd stand and watch him leave by himself.

Cry-Baby felt something tug at his heart as he watched her. Like he'd done her wrong, somehow, entirely without meaning to. Maybe this hadn't been a good choice. She wasn't strong and carefree like the other ones. The others would be fine. He wasn't so sure about this girl.
He stepped forward and kissed her on the forehead.
"You're a lovely girl, Miss Bonnie-Marie," he said softly. "Don't let no one tell you otherwise, y'hear?"

Bonnie-Marie smiled weakly at him and nodded.
"I'll be fine," she assured him, not sounding all that assuring.

"Okay. But you come by if you ever need anything."
*He chucked her on the shoulder and winked before sauntering to the door.*
