Remy came up to her carrying Rika. "You save any of your wages for us, or is that all for you? I don't mean that meanly, you understand, just that we're running low on nappies."
Keiko shook her head. "I'm sorry. Really. I shouldn't have bought clothes. How selfish of me." She put her boots back on. "I'll go return these and buy some baby stuff."
"No, keep the clothes. You haven't had any new stuff for ages. We can always borrow some stuff off Tina if we have to, she won't mind. I wasn't trying to make you feel bad. We can buy lots of stuff when we get the benefit and milk tokens tomorrow."
Keiko sighed. "I'm sorry we even have to apply for that. I would love to get a better job, but this is all I have the qualifications for. I go to work to support us and our family, but it's not enough."
