Nora sat and looked out over the backyard. The children laughed because she was more excited than they were. She could not help it. She had dream of this for years. She was tired of living with family and in low income housing. Her children deserved better than that. Despite what their deadbeat father believed. Sean had left after Cara was born. He promised to be back when he was making decent money.

Nora sipped her lemonade and realized that was five years ago. Her friend, Patricia, suggested she try to apply for a Habitat for Humanity house. She was excited when they started building it, Ashton took the most pride about it. He explained to his mommy what each room would be. As Nora heard the babies cry, she remembered when Tylene had stopped by a year ago. She had a boy and a girl, Kathleen and Kylar. She was leaving Scott and wanted to know if they could stay with her. Tylene had the custody papers. She needed a clean start. Tylene promised to send money as soon as she got settled.

Nora walked into the house to check on the twins. She remembers the nights they ate mac-n-cheese and hotdogs. Four months later, Tylene came through and it helped out a lot. Nora then wondered how she would raise Ashton and Kylar to be men. She was scared of how Cara and Kathleen would be without a positive steady male role model. Patricia’s husband, Chris volunteered. But Nora knew that it would change when Patricia had one of their own.

She heard Aston cried out cheerfully. She immediately grabbed the twins and headed downstairs. She was happy to see Wesley as e entered in. He was interesting. He was very intelligent and made Nora wonder what he saw in her. He was remarkable with the children. He was more than extravagant with her. She was more than elated that he had brought dinner with him.

****Later that evening****

Nora smiled as they swayed in the hammock. Wesley was explaining astrology and the formations of the stars in the sky. Nora loved the way he played with her fingers. It was like a game of Chinese checkers. She became alarmed when she felt a cool metal on her ring finger. She glanced down and noticed the dark jewel that sparkled back at her through the moonlight. Wesley kissed her temple and stated simply, “I think it’s time to turn this little old lady into Cinderella.”
