Vera I have no money, and I can’t borrow anything from Ruslan without him asking what it’s for, but I have other options.In the past, I witnessed many of my childhood friends stealing things from the pharmacy where I grew up. Candy, beer, pregnancy tests, whatever – it’s all the same to an underpaid teenage cashier. They don’t care what you take, so long as you don’t make a scene.Ruslan’s house is huge, so I choose to strategize my escape in a more practical way than launching myself from the bathroom window. That might work if I never planned on coming back, but I need access to the house once I return again.There’s a guest bedroom on the first floor, and the windows unlock easily enough for me to remove the screen and slip through without making much noise. I haven’t been outside of Ruslan’s house since we arrived, and it was dark enough to obscure the surrounding neighborhood.I’ll have to make sure I know my way back.
