    When Hope is lLost

     

    “Well, I hungry. I not eat much for a few days… okay. What a gallery?” He said to her as he helped her to stand up and off they walked down the sidewalk, his hand in hers, she explaining to him what a gallery was. She felt this amazing love energy enter her as she held his little hand and then felt this incredible sense of love enter her soul and consciousness that she’d never felt before. Her heart smiled, as it hadn’t in what felt like a very long time.

    They were walking on the upper east side of Manhattan near a revitalized area of Harlem. When they arrived at the address Bette had been looking for, they met the realtor at one of the newly remodeled brownstones and soon after, went up the stoop and inside the little apartment.

     

    It had two small bedrooms and a den, a nice sized kitchen, two bathrooms, with one was attached to a bedroom suite in the upper floor and a Great room of sorts and lastly, a storage room. It was something that Bette could afford as it was in a cheaper rent district. It was situated within walking distance to Central Park, two subway stops from her hopefully new employment and close to a neighborhood school. It didn’t take but some information regarding the place, a few shared smiles and a nod and Bette signed the lease for it.

     

    Afterwards, she and Ozzie took a taxi over to the hotel she had been staying at and packed up her belongings and soon after that, they arrived back at their apartment. She had a substantial amount of money to live off of until hopefully her new employment would kick in and begin to fill her bank account.

     

    It didn’t take much talking to convince Ozzie to stay with her at the apartment. After her words about winter and him knowing the reality of his predicament, he was ready for a new ‘mom’ in his life as he was very lonely and had been for a while. In his mind and heart, he just figured that God had brought them together and he wasn’t going to argue that. Bette could feel his specialness when they were together and she now felt that he was her little angel.
