Wednesday came and Janie was ready to leave work when Mark told her to stay back. You need to add a few more entries to this database.
"You done yet?"
"Yeah, but give me a few minutes."
Janie got back to work quickly and added the 20 extra entries. And fixed some code.
"Are you done yet? We're late."
"Could I just wear what I'm wearing now? I actually have gym clothes to change into if that's better."
"Okay, change into the gym clothes. It's better to play in that."
Janie went to her car and grabbed the clothes and went to the neared bathroom and changed. She came out of the bathroom and Hunter was standing outside with his arms crossed. "Let's go."
Janie got in the car. "You're wearing that?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, I could run around with the kids better in this."
Logan got back on his phone.
They arrived at the orphanage and all the kids immediately ran to Logan. He seemed to already be loved by the kids. Janie saw this side of him and was surprised. He was laughing with the kids and having fun. Janie saw a girl sitting in the corner and drew pictures. Janie came over to her. "Hi, what's your name?"
"Zoey."
"My name's Janie. What are you drawing there?"
"A tiger."
"Oh wow. I can see now. That's really good! Could I draw with you?"
"Yeah."
"How old are you, Zoey?"
"6."
"You're a big girl."
"The others say I'm not a big girl."
"Yeah, you are. You can definitely draw like a big girl. Even if you aren't big, it's cute to be small too."
"Yeah, but I like to be a big girl. No one wants me in their family."
"Maybe they haven't seen your drawings so they can't decide yet."
"Do you like to draw, Miss?"
"Yeah, a lot. I try to draw whenever I can. If I don't I'll forget."
"You can't forget how to draw."
"But my drawings won't be as good."
"That's why I draw everyday."
"That's a good habit."
"You should too."
"I do. When I get bored at work I doodle something small on my papers. Or when I'm in those boring meetings I start drawing on my notepad."
Zoey giggled. "You get bored at work?"
"Sometimes when they talk too much about nothing."
Zoey giggled again. "Do you like your boss?"
"Very much. He's a nice guy but sometimes he talks too much."
"Sometimes I get bored here."
"Aw, do you go outside and play?"
"When it's time to play."
"How about you try to draw things outside?"
"The ladies don't let me. They say I have designated times to draw and play time outside not one of them."
"You now what the word designated means?"
"Yeah. It's the schedule we have."
"Ah, I see. The set times to when you do things, right?"
"Yeah."
Logan noticed Janie was around and looked around for her but gave up. Hunter continued playing with the kids and Logan went to take a rest at the tables. He was texting Jessica and they were in an argument. He put his phone down and that's when he saw Janie sitting with Zoey. "What are you two drawing over there?"
