Pandora replied, “Last time when Steven came over with you, I noticed he seemed to enjoy my cooking, so I sent him a pack of cornbread and some hot sauce before I left.” “Steven doesn’t really like those foods, so please don’t send him anything in the future. It would be a waste if he just throws them away Plus, his girlfriend could get the wrong idea and think we’re up to something” Hannah said.
Pandora explained, “Steven helped us when we were down and out. We should be grateful. I couldn’t offer him much, so I just sent him some local goodies. I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“Let it slide this time, but please don’t do it again.” Hannah said.
“Alright Pandora raised her hand and caressed Hannah’s face, “Don’t worry, sweetheart
Pandora was a strong–willed woman, a real fierce woman at home Hannah hardly saw her gentle side growing up. But today, the way Pandora was looking at her, calling her name so tenderly, Hannah’s heart was melting.
“Mom, just spit it out” Hannah said.
“Remember, first you’re you, then you’re a daughter or a sister. No matter what comes your way in the future, don’t forget, you’ve got family. We’ve got your back.” Pandora reminded
It turned out. Hannah was not alone. She had family and friends. That was her rock. Why did she foolishly think at one point, that if she lost Steven, everyone would turn
their backs on her?
“Do you understand?” Pandora asked.
Hannah sniffed and nodded, “Yeah, I got it.”
Pandora said, “There’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
“What is it?” Hannah asked.
“Over the years, you’ve sent quite a bit of money home, and Steven has been pretty generous with us. So Jeo and I saved up some money. We bought two houses with it, one for you and one for Farley” Pandora said.
Hannah said, “I have a place to live, you don’t have to…”
Pandora cut her off, “You can choose not to live at home, but you must have a house of your own. This way, no matter what you do, you can have peace of mind. Even in the worst–case scenario, you’ve got a safety net.”
Hannah looked at Farley who was busy tidying up and said, “Farley is about to start high school, and then he’ll go to college. Money will be needed for lots of things”
“You don’t need to worry about his tuition. He’s not only self–sufficient, he can even bring in money for the family” Pandora said.
“Oh? Farley, how do you manage that?” Hannah asked curiously.
“It’s just the usual stuff, nothing special. Farley replied.
