Entry 1009: Trust Him?

Dear Kyle,

---

You're safe.

It’s funny how a stranger's kindness can light up an entire situation.

Do you like your new home, Kyle?

I'm not sure if we'll stay here for a while, but it's an upgrade from before.

You finally got your teddy bear...

I'm in debt to this man who somehow understands me.

We've yet to formally meet, and yet...

I feel something brewing.

Is this kindness...possible?

There has to be a catch, right?

Anytime someone has been kind to me,

there's always been something waiting for me to fulfill like a failed bet.

I should try to trust this place...

but when was the last time I really trusted anyone?

Why does my heart want to trust him?

Should I?
