    When Hope is lLost

    Bette took a pause in thoughts while they were eating their salads and realized that she actually felt happy for the first time in a very long while. This was what she needed to be able to come back to her center… a new environment for living in, a good friend and her own personal safe space again. She prayed that she would have the necessary skills to get the job she was seeking as well as qualify to become a foster mom. She’d research what was needed for that to happen later that evening as fortunately the apartment had come with everything intact, including an Internet connection.

     

    After they finished with lunch, Bette took a quick shower and dressed up in a power suit to get her self prepared for her interview. Ozzie just sat and watched her move about the space and smiled. He liked and intuitively trusted this woman and felt contentment in having a new real home for the first time in his life. After thinking about his own short life, he would do his best to be a good boy so that he could stay for a long time. During their lunch conversation, they had talked about him attending the neighborhood school and that excited him. It might take a while to get the details ironed out to make that happen, but Bette shared that she would work hard make sure that it did. The two new friends shared many hugs that day.

     

    As Bette took off for her appointment, he went out to explore his new neighborhood to see what was located there. He now had his very own key for their apartment and that thought tickled him to his core… and he carried it proudly around his neck on a string, keeping it safe.

     

    As he walked around he observed the lay of the neighborhood so that he knew what was located where. As Bette road over to the gallery in the taxi, she wasn’t sure how to approach her relationship with Ozzie so she let him do for himself what he needed to do. They decided that they would talk it over later about what they expected from one another as family. It was a unique situation for her to be in but her intuition told her that she needed him in her life and for once, she wanted to listen to that.
