“Would you ever consider moving in with me?” I ask.

She chuckles. “Isn’t that a little bit early? I know they say lesbians bring a u haul to the second date but…”

I laugh. “I don’t mean right now but I mean, someday, if we last, would you be okay with that?”

“Yeah, although it will not be easy. I think that if we do so, that we’ll have to add another floor to my house because that is already adjusted to Elijah’s needs.”

“Uhu, okay.” I smile. “I just asked because, before I really invest my heart into this, I want to know if you would consider living with me and my kids.”

“I understand.” She smiles. I roll on my side and lean on my elbow. We just look at each other before I break the silence.

“Tell me a little about your family… You haven’t told me about them.” I tell her and she nods.

“Okay, my parents are Wesley and Anne. I have three brothers. My oldest brother Clayton is married to a woman named Nina and they have 15 year old twin girls: Naomi and Hope. My other brother, also older than me is Dexter and he is married to Grace. They have a 13 year old son Roderick, who was born 2 days before Elijah. Then, there is my baby brother Russell and he has been married two times. His first wife was Joan. They have two sons: Byron and Roy. His current wife is Ava and they have two daughters: Jewel and Mercy. I think that’s about everything there is to say about my family.” She said to me and I smile. “What about your family?”

“Well, my parents are Melvin and Maxine. I am their youngest daughter. My older sister is Dianne who is 35 and married to Matthew. They have a daughter Julie. My father has been married to another woman before my mother, Judith and they have a daughter Kathy, but we all call her Kit. She is married to Angus and they have a daughter, Melody and a son, Jaron.” I tell her.

“Oh, Melody is such a cute name.” She says and I chuckle.

“Really? How would you have called Elijah if he would’ve been a girl?” I ask her.
