Faye left her in the market. She was old enough now, so it wasn't cruel. She had money, clothes, a good head on her shoulders....
She was on a mission.
Audrey found the antique shop easy enough. She even figured out what door was the one to her mother's apartment. A little jimmying of the lock and she was in. Her giant green sack(similar to the one Raye used to tote around) was flopped on the bed of the studio apartment.
It was her mother's alright. Nothing in it save a desk, a cot-like bed and a dresser. The kitchen looked like it hadn't been used in a long time and it made Audrey sigh. She opened the ice box, looked in the cabinets, and when she was done, Audrey pulled a notebook from her pocket and started a shopping list.
When her mother got home, there would be food in the icebox, in the cabinets and a potted plant on the windowsill.
The small redhead? Sitting on the bed, legs crossed reading some book she happened to pick up between where-ever she had been hiding and here. Mom would come home eventually.
