Stef's: POV
After the delivery guys left a FedEx carrier. Showed up at the gate
I was a little leery about letting strangers on to the property, when the undefined man held up his badge that his company logo on it, l pressed the button letting him on to the estate
I made sure to have my gun tunk inside my front pocket. I waited outside for him to drive up on the grounds, once he got out of the truck
I have a delivery for Mrs. Lena foster Adams, the young man says to me
Okay l said. He hands me the tablet for me to sign for the package and then he gives me a rather large white envelope, l read the name on his jacket. That said Lucas l thanked him and watched Lucas get back in his vehicle and drive off the property
Lena and I rarely get anything from FedEx, most of the time united postal service they usually drive a brown truck. I look around before going back in the house, and lock the door
Where l see Cocoa and snowy playing
I don't know what's in this envelope
Lena and I don't keep secrets from each other. So l open up the package and dump out the contents on to the table, and inside was a bunch of money. Holy shit l say out loud
there a note saying we've seen all the work you've been doing at the Seattle children's home and this money is to show our appreciation, plus we heard about the situation you recently went through. With your employee
Fret not big brother is watching her closely, this makes no sense what so ever. It doesn't clarify who's it's from
Whoever it is signed their signature

Lena's: POV
I just returned from having lunch with Dad. The conversation we had
Left me a little unsettled everything he said was true, l needed to protect the state of my business. I may need to have a sit down with Dr. Shannon and discuss about letting Casey go
For taking the companies money without consent, even though we had a meeting with Casey and now l'm not so sure we took the right course of action. For giving her a second chance
Sasha were there any calls while I was out of office Lena said, Francesca is waiting to see you. When I asked her, what for she told me it was important. Sasha replies, okay clear all my calls for at least an hour Lena states. As I heads down to my office
Where Lena sees Francesca sitting at
Hi sweetheart I heard you needed to see me, Lena responds as she unlocks the door to her office and usher Francesca inside. I hung up my things and went to go take a seat at the desk
Lena placed her bag at the bottom of the drawer, so what's on your mind
Lena asks. There's this play l'm in at school and I was wondering if you could come and watch me Francesca
Asked, it depends on what day it's on
Lena replied. It's the day before Thanksgiving in the school auditorium it starts at ten in the morning informs me, l look through my planner to see if I had anything planned on that day and noticed that
I have nothing scheduled. I pencil in
The date for Francesca's event, l have a open available on that day so I can attend your play at school. But l wanted to talk about something important, how would you feel about
Us spending some time together away from the group home. I spoke with Dr. Shannon and she gave me permission
How does that sound Lena Stated
Really l can spend time with you and that nice lady who came in the other night along with you Francesca tells me. Oh that was just my wife Stephanie Lena wasn't sure how to explain the logistics about her and Stef being a lesbian married couple in a committed relationship. I heard being gay was wrong Francesca inquired, people are afraid of what they don't understand sweet girl
It's nothing wrong with two women or too men loving each other. You probably hear a lot of stories but at your age it's hard to articulate about what's right and wrong in the world
We can't go around judging others
Lena explains, l think it would be cool
Having too mom's. The last foster home l was placed in was a lovely couple who were married, they removed me cause our neighbor next store said thought I was being abused
I feel the real reason was she had a issue with them because they were both gay. I always wanted a mother and father, l never knew my parents often times l wonder why they gave me up Francesca says sadly. to hear Francesca say this breaks my heart in half,
