After Mr. Noonan finished, giving a positive answer by telling Avery that she can stay with them, the girl replied with a thank you, following up by stating on what help she could be around their house, like cleaning and cooking so that it would be like paying her way to live with them.

[i]“I wouldn’t expect that of you,”[/i] said Mr. Noonan to Avery,[i] “But I think it would help the missus out a little bit.”[/i]

[i]“We need to make arrangements and stuff sir, you know?”[/i] said Roland, butting in the conversation with a situation for solving, [i]“Like where would she sleep and all of that.”[/i]

[i]“Oh trust me, I know”[/i] replied Mr. Noonan, [i]“We will get to the bottom of it. Maybe have a family meeting or something so we can get it figured out.”[/i]

All of a sudden, Roland stomach had started growling, forgetting that he didn’t eat anything before they left. Once Mr. Noonan heard it loud and clear, he asked the boy a question.

[i]“Wow Roland,”[/i] he said, [i]“Must be starving, huh?”[/i]

[i]“Huh?”[/i] said Roland, looking as if he was a little embarrassed by the loud rumble his stomach had made, [i]“Oh…..uh…..yeah I g-guess so.”[/i]

[i]“Tell you what,”[/i] stated Mr. Noonan to both Roland and Avery, [i]“I’ll go find a vending machine or something and grab us something to eat ok?”[/i]

[i]“That’s fine I guess,”[/i] said Roland, [i]“You want me to go?”[/i]

[i]“You stay here with Avery, I can do it by myself,”[/i] said Mr. Noonan, then walking towards the door and opening it to exit, but before going he had one more question. [i]“Roland, anything specific you want?”[/i]

[i]“Anything is fine right now sir,”[/i] replied Roland

[i]“Ok then,”[/i] he said, then turning his attention to Avery, [i]“What about you Avery? Anything in particular?”[/i]
