Looking over at the sound of a knock at the bathroom door, Penny stared at her reflection. Face red and splotchy from crying, she realized that thought she had been trying to be quiet, she'd obviously must have woke up, Bee. "Just a minute..." The brush of her fingers under her eyes didn't do much to make her look any less like a drowned rat, and in the end the jig was up anyway.
Opening the door, she was bashful as she fought to look anywhere but at the pretty, classy, woman who had taken them into her home. Penny, especially was appreciative for the way she'd refused to let her go back to the trailer alone. "Sorry... I was..." But the sentence went nowhere because it was pretty obvious she'd been crying. "I didn't mean to wake you up."
