Mark
Mark, the man’s name, gazed up at her with thankful eyes and accepted her offer. He admitted to her that he hadn’t eaten in two days. Lucy’s heart was broken by this.
When asked whether he needed anything else, he only said a blanket, even though he required more to survive.
Learning more about him
Lucy got Mark supper, and they ate it on the curb together. Lucy heard more about Mark’s story as they talked. He had lost his work and was unable to pay his rent, so he was evicted from his flat.
He’d ended up on the streets because he’d run out of options.
