Coming out of the shower I found Jennifer asleep in the chair, she was clinging to the little bear I had bought her, I smiled, she looked so sweet but I couldn't leave her in the chair so, very gently, I lifted her up and after rolling back the blanket, I laid her onto the bed. Removing the wet towel around her head and placing a dry towel on the pillow, I gently laid her head to the dry towel, removing a few wet strands from her face. I couldn't let her sleep with her hair loose, my wife used to say if you braid the hair while it's wet, it stops the cold from affecting the head, so braid it I did.<br/><br/>I walked out of the meager room out into the darkness of the porch, looking around it was so quiet after the hum of the traffic all day, looking up at the sky I saw a shooting star and made a wish, my wish was just to get this kid home to her mom, more than anything else that is all I wanted right now.<br/><br/>Going back inside our room I stripped off my clothes, except for my boxers, I laid on my bed pulling up the blanket I soon fell asleep.
