Unanswered Prayers Page #3

Oh! I don't think

Jesse meant this for me.

What is it?

"You were looking so fly today.

"I can't wait to tap that."

I think that was meant for Monet.

Monet?

Well, actually, it's Monet.

You know, like the artist.

-She makes cupcakes.

-Ah!

Enter.

How's the homework coming?

You know, it is so exciting, Mom.

All this knowledge.

Well, it would be really fly

if you could tap that chemistry.

Mom. Monet?

-Crap.

-Mmm.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, my God. This house.

Why am I nervous?

You're the one that should be nervous.

Why should I be nervous?

You know, the history.

Ancient, Jeanette.

Yeah, well,

she ain't looking so ancient.

Anyway, I got the guy.

Oh, my God. Lorrie.

-And...

-Jeanette. Jeanette Tuttle.

-We were in Algebra ll together.

-Right.

You girls look so wonderful.

You look great.

No, please. I'm in the middle

of cleaning. I look a wreck.

We brought you...

We're so sorry about your mom.

Thank you. That is so sweet.

Come in.

Fantastic!

Let me put on some coffee.

Oh! This house is gorgeous.

What year was it built?

So, my mom said you're living in Europe?

That was years ago.

I've been in Chicago.

This is all so interesting!

All this exotic artwork.

I would pick up things

for Mom over the years.

I was a buyer for Marshall Field's.

Come sit.

Thank you.

So fill me in. What have I missed?

Well, I married Ricky Keisel.

And Ricky is superintendent

of the county school board.

And we have three kids.

Three kids? Wow!

And you?

Kids? No. No kids.

Three husbands, but no kids.

That's something.

So, Lorrie, how's Ben?

He's fine. He's doing great. Just great.

He joined our family

construction company.

Completely took to it.

This is Chloe Rose, our youngest.

She's eight.

And this is Danny, our middle one.

He's the smart one.

Okay. And Lorrie, what about you?

I work at the company, as well.

I'm sort of the business side

-of the business.

-That's great.

Oh, Ben and Lorrie are together 24/7.

I don't know how they do it.

The best part of my day

is when Ricky leaves for work.

-Anyway, this is Lane.

-Uh-huh.

And he's in high school. Plays football.

He's on the bench mostly,

but that's fine with me

'cause then he doesn't get hurt.

So, is your husband here with you?

No, Jerry and I divorced years ago.

I'm sorry.

No, believe me, it was the right thing.

Oh! So, you're single?

Yes, sirree.

I'm gonna go get that coffee.

I'll be right back.

Great. Thank you, Ava.

You know, if you're gonna be around

on this Saturday,

because we're having

something called the Harvest Ball.

We're raising funds

for the community pool.

Oh! Well, Jeanette, we didn't come here
