wonderful! You wouldn’t think it was a low-cost housing development. They were very generous with open spaces and amenities.”
    “Sounds great,” Jack said, though a bit tiredly. Jack was handsome in a typical ivy-league-slash-frat-guy kind of way. He had blond hair with some natural dark streaks, a pointed nose, a strong chin and brown eyes. He wasn’t very tall – he was five-eight – but he took care of his built. He went to the gym in their building regularly. She was drawn to him as soon as she met him a couple years ago, because he could be quite charming if he wanted to. And he was really smart. That was very important to her. 
    “They have a treehouse, a jungle gym, a soup kitchen and a library,” Liz enumerated. “And oh! I’m going to volunteer in the library. They don’t have enough people to run it yet.”
    “Volunteer?” Jack asked, raising his eyebrows. “But your work itself is the next thing to volunteering already.”
    “I just want to help out until they get enough volunteers,” Liz said adamantly. “I’ll also be establishing a system so the users can take books out. Once that runs smoothly, I can limit my time there.”
    Jack didn’t debate further since he seemed tired, and maybe he didn’t want to fight. “As long as it’s only temporary,” he said. Liz wanted to respond, but she decided to let it slide. 
    Deciding to change the subject, Kayla asked, “Is work still busy?” 
    “Still is,” he confirmed. “But it’s going to pay off. I’ve gotten hints that I’m being considered as a junior partner.” 
    “That’s great!” Liz exclaimed, but a thought immediately followed. If he made junior partner, he would be busier than he already was. But as soon the thought crossed her mind, she tried to ignore it. She should be supporting him.
    “Oh, I spoke to my mom this afternoon,” Liz said, remembering. Her mom called her before Liz left work. “She’s inviting us for dinner Sunday night next week. Should I confirm for the two of us?”
    “Of course, I’ll go with you,” Jack said, taking her hand. Jack got along with her parents, especially with her dad, since they were both lawyers and knew a lot of the same people. They’ve already played golf together a few times.
    Liz squeezed his hand, and thought that maybe things between her and Jack were going back to normal. Life was becoming close to perfect.
     

Chapter 8
    Liz
     
    It was Saturday afternoon and it was the first day Liz was going to volunteer at the library. Her schedule was for two o’ clock, but she’s been looking forward to it since the morning. She took the train to Brooklyn and walked from the station. She called Jack while she was walking.
    “Hey babe,” he greeted. 
    “I just wanted to remind you about tonight,” Liz said. The dinner with her parents was already that evening.
    “Of course, I’ll pick you up at seven,” he said. 
    “Okay thanks, I’ll see you,” she said. 
    She made it to Stone Homes a few minutes before her turn, walking directly to the library. She knew Corinne was before her.
    “Hi Corrine,” she greeted softly as she entered. As it was a weekend, there were three other people in the library. Liz recognized Sam, the boy still reading Harry Potter, and two other adults who probably had no work for the day.
    “Liz! It’s good to see you again,” she greeted also in a soft volume. They didn’t want to disturb the readers. 
    “I’m filling in some hours over the weekend,” Liz explained. “So we don’t have to kick these people out.” She gestured towards the current library users.
    “God bless you, dear,” Corrine said.
    “Thank you,” Liz replied. “So who do I pass the keys to after my schedule and there’s no volunteer after me?”
    “Just look for Nell at the kitchen,” Corrine said. “She handles all the keys to all the common rooms here.”
    “Okay got it,” Liz said. 
    Five minutes to her time slot, Liz brought out the laptop she
