Just come over. How exactly? Not everyone had a brother with a sports car who didn't mind playing taxi. And it wasn't as if her dad had time to take away for trying to find work for his wrecker or at the shop. "Okay," she agreed without bringing any of it up. Isolde wasn't trying to be mean, she just wasn't thinking. But she was being nice.<br/><br/>"Oh, um," Helen stepped back from Isolde. "The water heater?  It like, something like went wrong with it. Dad says he will have it fixed today but there wasn't any hot water," she lied. In truth, Helen was trying what many victims did. Their self image was already damaged, so it was easy for theme to let hygiene slip in the hopes their abusers would not be attracted to them, would find them disgusting.  That's also why Helen was wearing the baggy clothing. She was hiding from Mr. Baker.<br/><br/>"I brought some clothes from home. Do you think, maybe, I can come over again and maybe use your shower tonight?"
