Her mother didn't waste any time. She prepared documents almost instantly. They were done in 5 minutes. Jack excused himself and locked himself in his room. He needed to "work". Lisa knew the truth though. He had to call his mistress to update her. Day one of her resurrection and she already became a thorn in his side. Good.
After a while her mother asked her if she wanted to spend time in the garden. They prepared tea and brought it outside. They had the perfect view of the lake.
"Did you know we have a new neighbours?" her mother started. Lisa was surprised. She didn't remember anything like that. Then again, she lost the house last time.
"Oh? I hope they are nice"
"I was thinking of making some cookies and bringing it to them as a welcome gift. What do you think?"
Lisa grinned like crazy. Her mother's cookies had been the best. Shame she never baked again after her father left them. This time she won't let Inez lose herself in the divorce.
"I'm in!"
She wasn't that happy in a long long time. They made a mess in the kitchen, singed together and talked about everything. They were close like a family they were meant to be. That will never change.
After the cookies were done they went outside to the house right next to theirs.
"Did you know they have a son? He's about your age..."
Oh no. She completely forgot about her mother matchmaking fantasies.
"Nice, I would love to make more friends" she said putting pressure on the word "friends". Her mother only giggled in response. They knocked on the door. The woman who opened them was gorgeous. She was tall and curvy. Her long black hair curled highlighting her heart shaped face. Her blue eyes were adorn by thick black eyelashes. She smiled at them.
"Hi! How can I help you?"
"We are your neighbours, we wanted to welcome you!" Inez smiled "We brought cookies. My name is Inez, and this is my daughter, Elisa"
"So nice to meet you! Please come in! My name is Morgan, and I live here with my husband and children. They should be here any second"
Morgan knew her children, because just as she said it the door opened again.
"Hi mom" they heard males voice. Lisa turned to see the most beautiful man she ever saw "Oh, I didn't knew we had guests..." his eyes met hers. Surprise flashed in his gaze but only for a moment. He send her the most charming smile. His eyes... she had to know these eyes, but she was sure she never met him before.
"Arael, these are our new neighbours, Inez and Elisa"
"Nice to meet you"
He closed in. His moves were slow and relaxed.
He shook her mother's hand.
"Nice to meet you madame" he turned to me and stretched out his hand "Miss"
His touch was very carefully and soft. You wouldn't suspect it by the look of his hands. She felt weird sensation where they skins met long after they hesitantly parted. Her mother would never get off of her case after that! She shook her head a little. She was supposed to stay away from men!
"Let's not impose any longer mother" she said "They probably have unpacking to do"
"You are welcome any time" Arael exclaimed.
She noticed her mother smile when they went back to their house. Awesome...
***
What were they doing here? Last time her father sold the house. He was ready to buy it and give it back to her one day, but... what went different? His mother smiled at him.
"Is that the one?" She asked.
"Yes... what do you think?"
"She is perfect" Morgan smiled gently. He was glad. Last time he didn't get the chance to introduce his mother to the girl. Everything will be different now though. He won't let anyone destroy his happiness. Never.
