Mr. Ballin

So the apartment was very cluttered.

But Dawn successfully navigated the pathway to the bathroom.

She grabbed her pills and then went back to the couch, swallowed the medication, and then she lay back into the cushions.

Then minutes later, she was asleep.

The next morning, Dawn woke up on Charlie's couch a little bit before 9.30 a.m.

She did have a small hangover, just a little headache, but by her standards, that was not so bad.

She had not drank a ton the day before, so this was a good start to her day.

Just a few minutes later, Charlie came into the room and he sat on the couch next to her and said good morning.

And between Dawn not feeling that great physically and remembering how obnoxious Charlie had been yesterday with the hair dye, Dawn really didn't feel like talking to him right now.

But before she could say as much, Charlie's eyes lit up and he said he'd almost forgotten.

He actually had a present for her that he'd gotten a few days ago.

And then Charlie, he jumped up and he disappeared into the kitchen.

And then he came back with a box, which he said was for her.

It was her gift.

And this made Dawn forget all about her irritation with him.

Dawn didn't get very many gifts.

I mean, she had a lot of friends in her life who, you know, wanted to give her gifts.

But, you know, they, much like her and Charlie, didn't have much money.

And so gifts were not a common thing in her life.

And so to be receiving this gift right now was really exciting.
