"Then I guess we'll both take the credit," *she said.* "I have to go to the club in a little bit to take care of some things before it opens. You're welcome to stay--I can get another key from the desk."

"That would be great. Thank you. Just let me get dressed."
When she emerged again, Phoenix cleared the coffee cups and got her bag from the side table. She'd get a key for him on the way down, and he could come and go as he pleased. It gave her a comforting feeling, to think he might be there sometimes when she came home.

Ben stood from where he was sitting, his small messanger bag at his hip. He had covered his dark hair in a brown cap and smiled at Phoenix "Vready to goes?"

**LATER**
Ben turned the key in the lock and smiled as it opened. He closed the door behind him and set the bread down on the counter and put the soup away.
With an "Oomph" he fell on to the couch and began reading a book he had read a million times before, but it was the only one he had.

Later, Phoenix came home, her step heavy but lightening when she noticed Ben on the sofa.
"How'd it go?" she asked eagerly. "Did you get a job?"

Phoenix clapped her hands. "I knew you would! It won't be long, I'm sure. You'll find something more interesting." She dropped her bag and toed off her shoes.
"Long," she said. "There's a lot to running a place like that. I'm surprised your brother thought I could do it."

Phoenix flopped down next to him with a sigh.
"I suppose... and maybe he's right. I don't know. Sometimes I feel like it's under control, and other days..."
She shrugged.
"He showed a lot of faith in me when no one else would have," she said. "I'll always be grateful to him for that."
