"Please! Let me stay here!" Sam exclaimed before breathing deeply. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I want to get better.. I just can't afford treatment and a place to stay..."

Sophie sighed and leaned against the doorframe. She really didn't want Sam to become financially dependent on her, but that might be the easiest way to keep her out of her life. She stepped into the hall and let the door shut behind her. "Don't you dare do this. Don't give Mackenzie false hope if you're not actually going to change," she said, "I'll help you, but we're keeping her out of this."

Sam watched as Sophie stepped out into the hall. She stepped back and heard her. "Can I see her? Mack and Lizzie? My daughter and my granddaughter?" Sam asked her as she reached up to brush some hair out of her face. Her hair looked like it hadn't been washed in weeks and she had a cut on her forehead with dried blood. Her hands were shaking and she had sweat on her forehead.

"Not like this you can't. You don't get to just show up here and assume you have a place." she replied. "Can I have your phone? I'm going to add the number of a rehab specialist. He's a friend of mine, tell him you know me and he'll be able to work something out to cover the expenses."

”Thank you… thank you…” Sam said digging out her phone which had a severely cracked screen. ”My phone has seen better days…” she added holding it out to her with a shaking hand

Sophie glanced at Sam but opted not to say that there were worse things to judge about the woman than the quality of her phone. She quickly put in the number and handed it back to Sam. “If you can stay clean for 30 days I might talk to Mackenzie about letting you see her.” she said.

Sophie narrowed her eyes. “Just give him a call, I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out. It does mean seeing your daughter again, after all,” she said before returning inside and slamming the door.

“Nothing she could get from us,” Sophie replied. She didn’t want to tell Mack she’d referred her to a hospital. When Sam failed to change it would just break Mackenzie heart if she allowed hope to take root. “Come on, I don’t want to talk about her.”

Mackenzie heard what Sophie said and she bit her lip. "If it was life threatening you would tell me right?" Mack asked her. "Lizzie baby come down and see Mommy!"
