Dream On: Chapter 36 

This was really not a dynamic she wanted to be involved in.

Chava got off the bus at Shamgar and walked up the block, searching for Devoiry’s storefront. Last time she’d been here, the place had been an empty room. Now, she was about to see what it had become.

Chava self-consciously flattened her skirt as she neared the address. She hadn’t been sure what one wore to her daughter’s Grand Opening event. She felt like the mother of the baalas simchah arriving at the hall, only she didn’t know what her role was supposed to be.

Hostess? Saleswoman? Should she just stand in a corner and smile awkwardly?

Elisheva had said she’d go straight from school (“Devoiry told me to bring as many friends as I can”), so Chava was on her own.
