Water and light. That is it. That is all the baby needs. They only had one baby. Zoe had picked up the fledgling money tree in Chinatown when they moved into the Parkdale storefront. Garrett didn’t think they’d keep it alive for an entire rent cycle. But Zoe said they just had to make a commitment every day to keep it green for one more day. One day at a time, no promises for forever.
Day after day they took turns making sure enough light came through the solitary bank of windows. Monday to Thursday was Zoe’s shift for water and Friday to Sunday Garrett took over. When new leaves and branches unfurled, Zoe thought they were ready. Garrett thought there must be more to Babies R Us’ success than water and light.
