For the past few nights I have been working on getting my aunt a job. I came successful with this one job at a skyscraper. My aunt and I walked into the building and a receptionist showed us the interview room. We sat at the rectangle table and waited for the boss to walk in. My aunt sat nervously as she saw a door knob turn. A man walked in and closed the door. He gazed at my aunt and then smiled widely.

Man: Lidia?

Lidia: Mark is that you? *starts to smile*

Man: Yeah…Lidia Elizabeth Ford I haven’t seen you since high school. How’s life?

Lidia: Not so good.

Man: I’m sorry to hear that. Where is Teresa?

Lidia: She died a while ago.

Man: Oh…sorry for your lost.

In my head I felt bad for the man. He wanted to reminisce on memories that had become tragic. I sighed and continued to watch them speak.

Man: Is she your daughter? *looks at Elana*

Lidia: No she is Teresa’s daughter; my niece.

Man: Well nice to meet you. *smiles and they shake hands* I just thought that you had children with your boyfriend from high school.

Lidia: No…but enough about me. What happened in your life?

Man: Well the girl I loved liked another guy. So I went to college and got a master’s degree. I got married but I divorced her because she was using me. I became boss/owner of my law firm and now I live in a million dollar mansion up in New Jersey.

Lidia: Wow…

Man: But back to this job. You’re hired. Any bills or things you need paid for I cover it. We were like best friends in high school so your covered. I’ll take off work early you can explain more to me about what you did so far.

Elana: Does that mean I can live back at home?

Lidia: Of course!

Elana: Awesome. You two need catching up so I’m going to leave.

I walked out the building and caught a cab home. I put this on: http://www.polyvore.com/coming_to_visit/set?id=44869135

I left the house and decided to walk there. As I approached the house I saw Diggy’s car. The butterflies grew in my stomach. I rung the doorbell and waited for a response.
