All That Glitters

A week later, Angela climbed out of a cab in front of her three-story walk-up in a tree-lined neighborhood in Boston. It felt good to be home. The late spring air smelled sweet and fragrant from the saucer-sized magnolia blossoms bursting on the trees in the courtyard. 


"You're back," an excited voice called to her as she climbed the front steps of the building. She turned to find her neighbor, Esther, standing on the grass with her dog, Gordon. She was an older woman, around Angela's father's age. Esther and Angela’s father spent time together during his many visits, walking Gordon in the park or having coffee on the pier. They seemed to enjoy each other's company. Angela enjoyed Esther's friendly disposition, and was relieved her father had found a friend. 


"I just got in," Angela replied. "It's nice to see you again. It feels like I've been gone forever." 


"How's Jack?" Esther asked, her expression one of concern. "Will he be joining you soon?"
