With About 15 Minutes Of Driving We Reach The Matthews Apartment. I Followed Her Up the Stairs Until She Stopped In Front Of A Door With '26' Carved into The Center. Riley Places The Key in And Unlocks The Door. She Opens It To Be Greeted by This Lady, That Is Most Likely Her Mother, At The Stove. Once Riley And I Stepped Inside We Were Greeted by This Little Boy running Up To Her. Riley Quickly Runs Over To The Couch As She Is Pulled By What I Assume is Her Little Brother. I Quickly Shut The Door Joining The Both of Them At The Couch.

"Who's She, Riley" The Young Boy Says, Pointing Up At Me.I Smile Slightly As I Hear Riley Introduce Me.

"Auggie, This Is My Co-Worker and Friend Maya. I Think You'll Really Like Her, She's Going To Have Dinner With Us, Alright Aug?" The Boy Nods And Walks Up To Me. I Neal So He Can See Me Better. He Wrapps His Arms Around Me For a Hug. I Hug Back, Embracing The Little Boys Hug.

"How Old Are You, Auggie?" I Ask ,Letting Go Of our Hug. He Slowly Raises Up 5 Fingers Very Happily.

"Well, You're The Cutest 5 year old i've seen." He Smiles As I High Five His Hand. I Stand Back Up And He Runs Into Another Rom. Riley Giggles As She Stands p, Making Her Way Over To Her Mother In The Kitchen.

"Hey Mom. Is Okay That I Brought a Guest over For Dinner?

"Sure Sweetie. Hello, I'm Topanga. Corey Should Be Coming Home Anytime Soon From School. You Must Be Maya."She Asks as I Nod Slightly. She 'Smiles And Adds A 5th Plate To The Table.

"Well You Two Can Go Hang out In Riley's Room. I'll Call You Two Down When Dinner's Ready." Riley And I Both Nodded, Following Riley Into Her Room. It Was Spacious, Well Organized, A Beautiful Window Seating. On Her Desk She Had A Copy Of Williams Shakespeare "Romeo And Juliet: And Drawings Of Purple Cats. I Turn To See Riley Sitting In The Window Seat. I Walk Over To Her, Quoting My Favorite Line From Romeo and Juliet.

"Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly, Then your love would also change." I Quote, Sitting Beside Her, Watching Her Eyes Light up As She Recognized What I Said.

"You've Read 'Romeo And Juliet'?"I Nod, Looking Back At The Brunettes Bedroom. With Purple And Bright Flower Patterns Bringing Life and Color To The Room.Riley Smiles As She Gazes Over At Me, Looking At the Bedroom Before Me.

"What Does Your Bedroom Look Like, Maya?" I Hesitate On Awnsering.My Bedroom Is Nothing Compared To Rileys.

"It's A Little Bit Smaller than this, And It Doesn't Have A Window Like This. What Would You Even Call This?" I Hear Riley Giggling, then Glances around The Window.

"It's Called A Bay Window. It Has Always Meant A Lot To Me.I;m Glad I Get To Share It With My New Friend." We Both Look at Each Other And Smile. I Found Myself Staring At Rileys Chocolate Eyes. Everything Goes Back To Focus As I Hear A Young Familiar Voice Coming From The Doorway.

"Riley, Maya, Mom Wanted Me To Tell You Dinners Ready." He Says Happily, As He Walks Away From The Doorway Into The Kitchen. Riley Smiles Brightly And Stands up, Grabbing me and taking my into the kitchen. She sits Down Onto The Bench. Motioning me to sit beside her. I Place Myself Beside Her. I Was Greeted By Her Father, Cory.

"You Must Be Maya. I'm Cory" I Nod.We All Sited Around The Table Asking About Each Other's Day. Even I Was Asked. It Felt Like Something A Normal Family would do. It Felt Liked I Really Was Welcomed There. After Dinner Cory And Auggie Went Back To the Couch And Started Coloring. Riley And I Stayed Back And Helped Topanga Clean And Put Away The Dishes.

"You Two Go And Have Some Fun, I Got The Rest Of The Dishes."

"You Sure Topanga" I Ask Drying The Dishes Had In My Hand. Topanga Nods, As I Sit Down My Dish and Walk Back To Riley Bedroom, Sitting At The Bay Window.

"I Think I Should Get Home. My Mom Gets Off In a Couple Of Minutes And I Think She Will Expect Me At Home." I Announcing Grabbing My bag.

" I Can Drive You Home, Maya" I Shake My Head Standing Up, Opening Up the Window.

"I'll Meet You Here In The Morning. Good Night Matthews"

"Good Night Hart. Be Careful Walking Home." I Walk Through The Window Onto The Fire Escape. I Place My Head Back Into The Window, Looking Up At Riley.

"I Will Honey, I Will.
