"Connor, I probably should get going." Tom said sadly getting out of her
comfy place on the Angel's couch in Connor's arms. She had been spending a
lot of time over there. She figured that Connor didn't want her to feel
left out with this baby like she had been with Jessica.
"Do you have to? It's only eleven." Connor playfully whined bring her back down to the couch.
"Yeah, but it's finally a school night again." Tom reminded him. "I can't believe school starts up again tomorrow it's like some viscous plot to make us relax and have fun and then wham. 'You are late Miss Summers, You're not living up to your potential Miss Summers.' Thank God this is my last semester of hearing Miss Summers in that scolding tone."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Tomorrow was at the grocery store picking up things she and mom needed, because mom was working late at the Magic Box again tonight.
"Excuse me Miss Summers but can I have your autograph?"
Tomorrow looked down at the little girl, and smiled, as she bent down to her level, and took the autograph book the little girl handed her. "Of course you can sweetie. What's your name?"
"Samantha." The little girl answered shyly.
"Well Samantha, here you go" Tomorrow handed her back her signed book.
"I want to be just like you someday" Samantha smiled.
"Samantha, Samantha, where are you?" a frantic woman was screaming as she came into view, saw Samantha, and came running over. "Samantha you know you're not supposed to run off like that. Hello, I'm so sorry if she bothered you. Miss"
"Tomorrow Summers" Tom answered. "And she was no trouble at all. I have two little nieces that are going to be just like her in a couple of years. I love kids, especially ones that recognize me."
"That's right you're the local girl that got that big music contract. I listen to your songs on the radio all the time. Well thank you again." Samantha's mother said dragging Samantha, who was waving goodbye, away.
As Tomorrow waved back she was struck by the thought that maybe just being herself really could make a difference, that you could brighten someone's day with a song on the radio. It was a really great feeling.
