Chapter 16 That's Too Bad

• Dusktown was the best town to live in in the nation. It was scenic, and the temperature was agreeable. It was perfect for the kids. They were at a growing age, and she wanted them to have a place to call their own. Then, she would pick a good school for them, and they could make friends. She wanted them to live like normal kids and grow up happily.
• But Dusktown's houses were expensive. She didn't have much money, so she couldn't buy anything good. She had only arrived in Dusktown not too long when she went to talk business with Harold, all so she could make more money. It was a pity Harold looked like he had a few screws loose. I lost that deal. I could have made a million. Well, too bad.
• Of course, she might be poor compared to the Harts, but she was well off compared to most people. She had managed to save some money thanks to her working herself to the bone over the last few years. She couldn't get herself a luxurious manor, but getting a small bungalow near a school area was not a problem.
