<div style="text-align: justify;">After the little girl ran inside the house, her parents remained outside. They started helping the movers get all the boxes out into the front yard, at first. Most of the largest items - furniture, the fridge and stove and other items - had already been moved into the house in advance. Now, the moving van was taking the smaller items and clothes. There was a lot of work to be done still, but the house would soon look like a home where the family could start a new life.<br/><br/>While they sorted the boxes out, the couple who was just moving heard someone calling a name. Mr. Bashford didn’t look up, as he was busy with a fragile items box. Mrs. Bashford, who was busy with a box full of clothes, did look up. She couldn’t help but smile seeing that one of her new neighbors had a son about her daughter’s age. Making a mental note to make something nice for her neighbors, the woman went back to work.<br/><br/>As the woman entered the house with the box, the little girl ran out again. She looked around with curious eyes in time to see the boy going back to his house. The little girl’s eye went really wide when she saw that there was a dog too. The only reason that kept her from running after the boy and the dog was that she knew that her mother would probably be mad at her should she do so. Exercising uncommon restraint for such a small child, Tina sighed and started helping her parents by carrying lighter packages inside.<br/><br/>For the rest of the day, the family spent a lot of time inside. There was work to be done to make the house fit for them to spend the night, so they spent the entire morning working, took a break for a simple lunch comprised of sandwiches and coffee for the parents, and juice as a drink for the child, and then went back to work.<br/><br/>When they finally reemerged, it was already almost sunset. Mr. Bashford was once again carrying his daughter, who seemed sleepy, and Mrs. Bashford was by his side. The three members of the family seemed tired, but happy. They had worked hard cleaning, tidying, fixing, putting things in place but it was now done for the day. <br/><br/>Sitting at a bench that had been left at the porch by the latest resident, the family stayed silent, simply enjoying their free time and watching sunset while planning on what they should do for dinner, as none of the adults was really excited about the idea of cooking after a hard day’s work.</div>
