Having only recently returned to the single life, she was determined to enjoy a few good days!
The older generation had traditional views, always thinking that a woman must marry to have security, but Nana Monty didn't think so.
She had money and a child; whether she needed a man or not was irrelevant. If she felt lonely, she could find a man to pass the time, but she wouldn't marry.
Marriage equaled giving someone the right to hurt her, and she didn't want to harm herself again.
Nana Monty was starving, so she had a meal and then sat in the garden with her child, basking in the sun.
The autumn sun warmed her body, making her feel particularly comfortable.
The ginkgo leaves in the yard had all turned yellow and hadn't started to fall yet, rustling in the autumn wind.
Nana Monty looked at the swing tied to the ginkgo tree and couldn't help but remember the scene of Jayden Maguire pushing her on the swing.
