"Thanks for coming with me, Nor," Ali smiled at her sister. She cried in her arms for what felt like forever after the courthouse.

"Anything for you, Ali," Nora couldn't believe everything that happened. She thought Ali and Ethan were the perfect couple. Then all of the sudden, he didn't want kids and they were divorced. She stopped working at Inferno and went to 21. It felt weird working there even though Ethan sold it.

"I'm gonna be okay, Nor. You don't have to look at me like you're waiting for me to explode," she felt awful, but the hope of finding a child was carrying her through.

The woman showed her to wear the children were. They were all so beautiful. She wanted to give them all homes. She got on the floor and watched them play. She was watching two little girls fight over a doll when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Hi."

Ali turned and saw a little blonde girl. She looked about five or six.

"Hi."

"They fight a lot."

"Do they?"

"Yeah."

"My name's Ali."

"I'm Bridgette."

"That's a pretty name, Bridgette. Much fancier than my name."

"I think your name is pretty. I like your long hair. Is it always straight?"

"No, it's curly and a mess."

Bridgette giggled.

"You think I'm funny?"

"Yes."

"Who's the lady with you?"

"That's my sister, Nora."

"She's pretty."

"I think she's very pretty."

"Do you like coloring?"

"I love to color."

"I like coloring princesses."

"I love princesses. You wanna color, Bridgette?"

"Yeah."

Ali followed her over to the coloring table.

"Belle is my favorite," Bridgette told her.

"Really? I like Cinderella."

They colored for an hour. Nora came over and joined them. Bridgette asked her about her hair and her clothes. She had a lot of questions.

"Do you have a husband?" Bridgette asked.

"No, I don't," Ali told her.

"You look sad."

"I am sad."

"I'm sorry. Here, have my picture."

Ali smiled. "Thank you, Bridgette."

"Not a lot of adults wanna color. They just stare at us and whisper."

"That's weird."

"Yeah, I think so too. So what do you do?"

"I'm a singer."

"Really? That's so cool. I like singing."

"You do?"

"Yeah."

"Hey, Bridgette, why don't you color another picture? Nora and I will be right back."

They walked away from the table.

"What do you think of Bridgette?"

"She's really cute and she really likes you," Nora smiled, "you're a natural with her."

Ali walked over to the supervisor.

"Sheryl, right?"

Sheryl nodded.

"I'd really like to put in papers to adopt Bridgette. How would I do that?"

They went into her office.

"With Christmas so close, we don't like keeping the kids here if they have potential families. She'll live with you and then after the holiday, we'll send out someone to do the assessment. She'll be legally yours in a few months since you've passed all our tests. Now, I know you said you're a singer. Do you tour?"

"I probably wouldn't do that many shows and I have my whole family behind me. This is my sister, Nora."

"My dad is a doctor at Northwestern and he raises my sister, she's ten. He would take her anytime. I would too. Rest assured, this kid will be well looked after," Nora told the woman.

"Good. All your references check out and all you need to do is sign this paper and she'll be released into your custody. I see that you've recently divorced. I'm assuming you have a place for the child?"

"Yes. I bought a house a few weeks ago. Bridgette will have her own room and there's a big yard for her to play. Very kid friendly."

"Excellent."

Ali signed the paper and went back out to the playroom.

"Hey, Bridgette."

"Hi, Ali. I made you another picture."

"Really? Thank you. Would you like to come home with me, Bridgette?"

"You're adopting me?"

"Yeah, if that's okay with you."

"I'd like that."

"Great. Let's get your stuff."

Ali, Nora, and Bridgette all got in the cab.
