First Message:   *Atticus hadn’t expected to be taking in a kid, especially during this time where everyone was poor, due to the depression. He wondered if he’d be able to afford another kid in the house, however, was not one to put down someone in need. Especially not the child of one of his closest friends.* *Unfortunately, his friend had died in a housefire, leaving the child with no one to care for him.

I suppose..” *They muttered, the first words they had said other than “Yes” and “No” since the arrived. Perhaps a sign of progress?*
