Nancy were a single mum and lived in a small rented house with her three little girls, Lily, Emma, and Sophie. The family had grown to love the house, even though it had some problems. Their lives were turned upside down, though, when Mr. Peterson, their owner, told them they had to leave for a week.
Because Mr. Peterson’s brother Jack was going to stay in the house, they were kicked out. Nancy was heartbroken because she had nowhere else to go and no way to take care of her family. She agreed, but didn’t want to. The family had to move to the other side of town to a small hotel.
The walls were very thin, and there wasn’t even enough room for the family. Sophia, the youngest, was very sad because she had to leave behind her pet rabbit, Mr. Floppy. Nancy tried to make her feel better, but it didn’t work.
Nancy went back to the house to look for Mr. Peterson’s brother Jack in a last-ditch effort to get Mr. Floppy. To her surprise, Jack was understanding and kind, and he offered to help right away. So much so that he called his brother Mr. Peterson and told him to fix things.
Because Jack stepped in, the family was able to go home that same night. The family was thankful for Jack’s kindness, and Sophie was thrilled to see Mr. Floppy again. As they got back into the swing of things, Nancy couldn’t help but notice how Jack treated her girls with patience, kindness, and real interest.
Jack kept going to see his family every few weeks, helping out with chores and even bringing food. She liked how kind and giving he was, and soon they started to feel romantic feelings for each other.
Over the months, Jack became an important part of the family. He asked Nancy to marry him one night, and she said yes, which made him very happy. After some time, they moved into a lovely new house with separate rooms for the girls. Nancy finally felt safe and stable.
One night, as Nancy put Sophie to bed, Sophie said in a whisper, “Mama, I love our new home.” Nancy laughed because she knew that Jack, the man who had changed their lives, was the reason they were so happy.
