Dark clouds were rolling in from the east.
It was close to dinner time, 6:00 PM was the time Esmeralda informed Elijah to come at.
Esmeralda was worried about these storm clouds over ahead and the sounds of thunder far away that her dinner guest wouldn't be able to make but she still had hope and deep down Elijah wouldn't disappoint her.
"Mother are you sure that your friend will be coming for dinner tonight? (Zoe had the door wide open looking outside) It looks like we are going to have a big storm and we live pretty far from town. Your friend might have changed their mind not wanting to get stuck out in the rain."
The day before Zoe had come home from having a fun-filled day with Keith to finding her mother cleaning the house and informing her that she had invited a guest over which surprised her because they never have people over for dinner except for only Keith.
In the small kitchen, Esmeralda heard what her daughter had to say.
There was also a window that was wide open for her to look out of.
"Don't worry dear he will be here soon," Esmeralda said walking out of her kitchen placing a pot onto the kitchen table.
Dinner was ready with plates and cups and knife and forks and also their food inside of pots that had Lids on them to keep them hot warm.
Once Esmeralda placed everything down she looked over at her daughter, she placed a big smile on her face.
She was so please seeing how clean and pretty she looked, She looked all grown up.
"You look so pretty when you fixed your hair nicely and dress up in a dress looking like the little girl that I saw the first day I went to pick you up at the orphanage."
Zoe flashed her mother a smile.
She hated to admit it but she too felt good dressing up.
Her hair was straight down her back past the middle of her back.
She had on a long dress that went above her ankles.
What Zoe loved the most about her dress was that it had half sleeves, not long sleeves.Her arms could finally breathe, She was used to wearing long sleeve men's shirt everyday day, she liked the air on her arms it kinda tingled a little.
Her dress just fit her body right, showing off her slender but somewhat curvy body.
Knock knock
The sounds of knocking were coming from the front door.
Esmeralda looked over at the door and then she looked over at her daughter "Be on your best behaviour and don't cause any trouble do you hear me?."
Zoe just nodded her head not saying a word back.
Esmeralda walked over to the door but before she turned the handle she whipped her sweaty hands on her apron.
