Helen saw Papa coming. “There’s Papa,” said Helen.
They could not tell a thing from the way Papa was walking. It was that same dear little staccato(6) walk, one shoulder down, then the other, then repeat, and repeat. They watched his progress. He passed the Kennedys’, he passed the vacant(7) lot, he passed Mrs. Blakemore’s. They wanted to hurl themselves over the fence, into the street, and shake the truth out of his collar. He opened his gate — the gate — and still his stride and face told them nothing.
“Hello,” he said.
[20] Mama got up and followed him through the front door. The girls knew better than to go in too.
Presently Mama’s head emerged. Her eyes were lamps turned on.
“It’s all right,” she exclaimed. “He got it. It’s all over. Everything is all right.”
The door slammed shut. Mama’s footsteps hurried away.
“I think,” said Helen, rocking rapidly, “I think I’ll give a party. I haven’t given a party since I was 11. I’d like some of my friends to just casually see that we’re homeowners.”

Papa approached his house with a mixture of relief and exhaustion. The weight of the world seemed to have been lifted off his shoulders as he closed the gate behind him. His daughters watched from afar, their anxious expressions etched on their faces. They had no idea what awaited them on the other side of that door.
As he entered the house, Mama's eyes met his with a sense of urgency. She must have been waiting for him to deliver the news they had all been waiting for. He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as he spoke the words they had all been longing to hear. "It's all right," he said, the weight of uncertainty finally lifted.
Mama's reaction was immediate. Her eyes lit up with joy as she exclaimed that everything was finally over. He could see the relief washing over her, and a sense of pride swelled within him. He had done it. He had secured their future.
As Mama disappeared into the house, Papa took a deep breath and allowed himself a moment of respite. The long days of hard work and stress had finally paid off. He couldn't wait to share the news with his daughters, to see the looks of joy and relief on their faces.
As he stepped back outside, he saw his daughters waiting, their faces a mix of curiosity and hope. He smiled at them, a sense of accomplishment filling his chest. They deserved to know that everything was finally alright. And as he spoke, their faces lit up in happiness.
As he watched them celebrate, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He had done it. He had provided for his family, secured their future, and brought joy back into their lives. And as his daughters talked excitedly about a party, he knew that everything was going to be just fine.
