NORA
“Ha! Eat it!” the 9-year-old boy across the table shouts as he slams his
piece down on King Candy.
“Brenden!” Lisa scolds her son, and I know I shouldn’t laugh but
I can’t help it.
She swings her narrowed gaze in my direction. “Don’t encourage him.”
Biting down on my amusement, I lift my hands away from the Candy
Land board in surrender.
“Ugh, he always wins!” Colton whines from his seat next to mine.
“I know, buddy,” I tell him with a sympathetic nod. “We’ll get him next
time.”
“I should get to start a few spots ahead.” Colton crosses his thin arms
across his chest.
Brenden scoffs. “You want us to let you cheat?”
“It wouldn’t be cheating,” Colton argues, “It’d be like a golf handicap.”
Brenden opens his mouth, but Lisa cuffs him in the back of the head.
“What!?” Brenden smooths down his hair, putting on an almostconvincing innocent look. “I didn’t even say anything!”
“Yeah, well, keep it that way.” Lisa holds her glare for another second
before sighing and mussing up his hair again. “Alright, you two put the game
away, then you can pick out a couple of books to bring upstairs.”
With minimal grumbling, the boys box up the game and race across the
large rec room towards the wall of shelves.
Marie’s House feels more like a nice apartment building than free housing
for women and families in crisis. It’s been open a couple years, but
everything looks new and clean while still being comfortable and cozy. I
haven’t spent much time inside the actual living areas, but this community
space is top-of-the-line. The furniture is sturdy, the carpet is plush, and the
entire back wall is filled with games, movies, and books for the residents to
use.
I watch as Brenden pulls a book off one of the higher shelves and hands it
to Colton.
“I swear, those two are gonna give me a full head of grey hair before I
turn 40,” Lisa grumbles.
Turning back to her, I tilt my head and purse my lips. “When you turn 40?
I swear I’ve seen a few glistening strands already.”
Lisa leans back in her chair, feigning afront, “My, my – what ever
happened to the nice, quiet Nora?”
I grin. “I guess you bring out the best in me.”
Lisa’s about to respond when the muffled sound of raised voices filters
into the room.
“What the — ?” Lisa pushes out of her chair, and I do the same, curiosity
winning over.
Stepping out of the rec room, we find ourselves in the large lobby.
Straight across from us is graffiti-style mural depicting the Minneapolis
skyline, and off to the side is the doorway leading to the employee offices.
Normally I’d take the time to appreciate the artwork, but my eyes are drawn
to the wall of glass to my right and the movement outside.
Marie’s House is welcoming and bright, but secure as Fort Knox. There
are two sets of glass doors, which I overheard are bulletproof, and you need a
key card to get through both sets of doors. There are also emergency call
