Today started with a call from Devon. He was ready to move in with me.
Emma came over as she does for breakfast and Hannah texted saying she wanted to hang out. Of course Emma said yes.
Since we shared the dream—I don’t know—Emma and I feel sort of connected to Hannah.
Devon arrived and unpacked. By that I mean he put a box in the corner and set a laundry bag on the floor.
“I don’t have much.” He went on to say he had run into a friend from high school, and he would be staying over with him tonight, but would be back after work on Monday. “I really need to do laundry today.”
Emma showed him to the laundry room. They weren’t gone 5 minutes when Hannah showed up with muffins. And a strange story that she said she shared on IG.
“Where’s Emma?”
I took her to the laundry room and Emma lit up. “Hannah, you remember Devon?”
There was a little chatting, then Hannah said, “I brought muffins.”
She handed one to Emma, Devon, and me, then Devon noticed she didn’t have 4. “Here… I don’t want you to go without…”
Hannah said no, for him to have it. She insisted she didn’t really need it.
Then her phone buzzed and she looked at it, and Emma said, “Did you just get a Snap?”
(Hannah at some point got Emma on SnapChat, too.)
“No,” Hannah said, “it was a bank notification. I’ll check it later.”
Skipping ahead until after Devon had left… Hannah retold her story from earlier. The disappearing door had to be the same as before.
She had to explain what “keep your day job” meant, but we didn’t know how that connected to anything. Until…
Hannah finally got around to checking the bank notice.
She had a $50 deposit she couldn’t explain from “Pay It Forward Society.” She explained what “pay it forward” meant, then there was a lot of discussion leading to Emma and me checking our bank accounts.
I was stunned. “$500.”
Emma had a deposit for $250.
We tried to find out what the Pay It Forward society was, but couldn’t. Emma said Tom, the theater owner, knew a lot about business, so we could ask him after the matinee on Monday.
As for why they would give us money, we could not guess.
