She felt more beautiful than she had in a long time. The last time she’d purchased something new from the mall was back in high school, before she’d gotten pregnant with Simon. Since then, it had been trips to Wal-Mart and thrift stores for whatever they needed. Although, she tried to buy new things for Simon so the kids wouldn’t make fun of him at school. “When we get home, there’s a surprise for you,” Tiraz told Simon. “A puppy?” Simon asked with wide eyes. Violet laughed. “Not a puppy. I don’t think a puppy would do well in a penthouse.” Simon pouted. “But we’ve never had a pet.” There was a twinge in her heart as she wondered if that was just another way she’d failed her son over the years. She’d done her best to take care of him, but there was so much they hadn’t had. People might say material things didn’t matter, but she knew her son was the charity case at school…the boy who missed out on parties because he couldn’t afford to join in. The boy who received free lunches.
