shower, and made the Morning Prayer, Alicia made some eggs she had seen in the little refrigerator, and toasted two slices of bread for each of them.
    “Do you want juice with your breakfast too?” Alicia asked Sam.
 
    “Yes, what kind do we have?” Sam asked.
    “It looks like orange juice from the looks of it. It is in a glass bottle here in the fridge.
    Alicia brought the eggs, toast, juice, and two cups of coffee on a small tray over to the round table. “This place is nice, don’t you think? I wonder what the rest of this place looks like. Would you mind if I walk around a bit today, while you are working?”
    “Just be careful honey, don’t go outside the building without me ok. I don’t know what Yates was talking about yesterday, so we should be extra careful, until we understand what he was meaning.”
    “Don’t worry honey, I am a big girl, I won’t leave the building though.” Alicia promised.
    “That’s my girl.” He smiled at her, and kissed her on the lips.
    “Did you ever think, we would get to sleep in a real bed, after sleeping out of the car like that? How did you sleep really?” Alicia asked Sam.
    “To be honest with you, I think that is the best sleep I ever had in my life. I didn’t wake up hurting at all, and I felt completely rested when I woke up.” Sam stretched a little. “How about you? How did you sleep baby?”
    “Like you honey, It was the best sleep ever. I don’t know if it is just because I don’t have the deep crevice of the back seat with the seat belt fastener jammed into my side or what.” She laughed a fruity laugh.
    “I love when you laugh honey, your blue eyes shine when you are happy. I always want to be the man that makes you happy.” Sam said to her.
    “Ah you are the sweet man always.” Alicia beamed, “It’s almost time for you to get ready for Yates to come. Let me go make myself more presentable also.” Alicia went to her bag and took out a bright red scarf. She swept her hair up in a nice tight low bun and wrapped the scarf on her head.
    “That looks nice,” Sam said to her, “I remember when I bought that for you. I thought you would never wear it, because you thought the red was too flashy, but I always love when you wear it. I always said it was your color, don’t you know that? It brings out the red in your hair.”
    “I just grabbed it when we were packing our bags to stay in the car. I knew we could not take everything with us, when we were evicted. I never expected us to be homeless, but work is difficult to come by.”
    “I am happy you brought it then. Did you happen to bring your journal too. I always loved to look at your little drawings you made.”
    “Yes I brought it too, fortunately, it is small and does not take up space.” Alicia said, “Maybe I will write about this place, since we are here now.”
    There was a knock on the door in that moment.
    Sam opened up the door, and Yates was standing there with a pail of paint in one hand, and two large brushes in the other hand.
    “Peace be upon you,” Yates said to him.
    “And unto you peace.” Sam said.
    “Do you want to join us for coffee before we start work?” Sam asked Yates.
    “Yes, that sounds good. Thank you for your invitation.”
    Sam invited Yates to sit at the table, and Alicia proceeded to clear the table, of all the dishes.
    “What do you think of this place?” Yates asked them both.
    “It is comfortable, I am grateful to you for your offer of letting us come here to live.” Sam said to Yates.
    “Did you find everything that you needed?” Yates turned to Alicia especially, when he asked that question.
    “Yes, everything is so nice. It is better than we both expected. Thank you so much.” Alicia’s appreciation was heartfelt. They had been staying in the car for more than a couple of weeks, and it was wearing on her health, with the winter setting in.
    “Can I ask you a few things?” Sam was trying to focus on what he wanted to know first. It
