happy

Tyler wanted to hire out some work on the property

and T was in need of being hired

so it was a perfect fit.

Since meals  and a bed came with the job,

TJ had been staying here since Saturday.

The kids got used to him being here pretty quickly

and thoroughly enjoyed the extra attention they got.

This morning

when Lexi woke up, she asked about him.

I told her he was gone for a bit.

She replied, "Home soon?"

I told her yes, for a little while.

She smiled

 and put her head on my shoulder,

"Happy."

I don't think she'll be quite so happy

when I tell her 

that 

last night 

was his last one here.
