Janet had been an unpublished author for nearly two months now and the redundancy money was running out. She certainly could not afford the holiday she was taking which was why John was paying. Janet hated relying on John. She had no problem living off John's benevolence but struggled against the trap of needing to ask. If John gave, and he often did, she took, but if John didn't think about it she did without. The decision she needed to make was should she take a job or should she push through with writing.
