Chapter 43: CHAPTER 43: Shine Brighter

　　As Conor finished up his shift on Tuesday at Jackson’s furniture, he stopped in to see Mr. Matthews.

　　“Sir, do you have a minute?”

　　“Of course, Conor. Come on in. Are you in a tight spot again? Need another advance?”

　　Conor chucked, “No, but I want to thank you for doing that for me. Actually, several of my long-term plans are starting to pan out. So, if it is alright with you, I will likely stay with just part-time work in the mornings. Hopefully soon, I may be moving on.”

　　“Moving on? Hmm, you are not going to another furniture store, are you? Mathison's isn’t poaching you, are they?”

　　“No, no. Nothing like that. I am going to be busy with a new non-profit in the area, Celia’s Blessing, which is just getting started. It will be a full community center soon.”
