An Ocean Of Memories

:Dinner:

 Elizabeth ran to the door and opened it, there stood a much larger fox. The fox was a lady of course, she had dark green eyes, a hat, a gigantic long flowy tail. Her fur looked soft, it was the same  color as Eva's fur. She wasn't as most women, she was thick but very beautiful.

"Why hello there Elli!" she said with a smile

"Hello auntie Molly!" replied the small fox. 

"I see you're all dressed, you look beautiful!"

"Thank you!" exclaimed Elizabeth.

"I got something for you and your sister, but don't tell your mother." whispered  Molly.

"Okay." whispered back the small fox.

They both walked to the kitchen. As Elizabeth sat down, Nina came prancing in with a gigantic smile on her face.

"Hello!" she exclaimed, "I'm Nina!" 

"Why hello there sweetie." said Molly. "Please come sit here next to your sister."

Nina sat next to her sister, while her mother prepared dinner. Elizabeth just sat there trying not to look immature by playing with the forks, however Nina was. Soon enough, Eva came in carrying plates of food. 

"Here you go, beef, corn, and potatoes." said Eva.

"Why thank you." said Molly.

Elizabeth just looked at her plate. Nina, nothing to expect of the meal eagerly started playing with the potatoes and corn. Elizabeth, trying not to look ungrateful took a bite of the potatoes. After dinner, it was time for the adults to talk. 

"Elizabeth, sweetie; go upstairs with Nina and play with your dollhouse, your auntie and I need to talk."

"Okay!" piped the little fox as she hurried up the stairs with her sister. When the two got upstairs they left a crack of the door open, just enough so they could see what was going on. 

"I'm glad to see you again Molly, it's been very hard." said Eva as she started to tear up a bit.

"I know, you lost your husband and now have to raise two children on your own" 

Elizabeth regretting that she had eavesdropped on their conversation. "I think mom is crying" she whispered to Nina. Elizabeth pressed her ear close to the door again.

"I was thinking of moving to America, but we don't have enough money to afford it." said Eva

"I'll help you Eva, both of us can go; over there, they have better jobs and education for the girls; it will take some time, but we will get there." said Molly in a comforting tone. 

"I know it will take some time to get the money; both of us will have to find jobs here; but that would mean that Elizabeth will have to take care of Nina, and I just don't want that; she is a child and deserves to enjoy her childhood." said Eva.

"You find a job, I'll take care of the girls, we both have to work together to achieve this; it's not going to be easy but it will be worth it in the end." stated Molly.

Elizabeth, only hearing the word "money" already concluded that it was something bad. "I think mom's going to get a job" said Elizabeth worriedly. She perked up her ears, "I hear someone coming up the stairs!" she whispered frantically;"quick prentend to be playing with the dolls!" she whispered frantically. Just as they got there dolls out, Eva quietly walked in.

"Girls, you're still up?" she said in a soft tone.

"Yes mother" they both said.

"Well hurry now, off to bed; it's awfully late." she said clam and sweetly.

"Yes mother." the two girls said as they got into bed. 

"Good night" they said to each other. Eva walked quietly out of there room as the two small foxes fell asleep.
