Delia continued to live in the modest house in Appaloosa
Plains she and her mother had shared since she was born. Since she was a senior, if she kept her grades up, she wouldn't have to move into a foster home. No social workers or foster parents for her.
Delia's mom didn’t leave her wealthy,
but she had enough to get her through the last year of high school. Her job at the day spa also helped as
ensure she had enough money.
Delia
still wasn't convinced the potions were real or her mom’s stories either. But curiosity got the better of her and she
took a little time to try a few of the recipes. One of them made her hungry – or maybe she
just spent too much time in the basement and simply forgot to eat. It couldn’t have really been a hunger potion
or even worse – a starvation potion. No
– she just needs to remember to eat now and then!

What Delia really cared about was this one special guy she met at
her Senior Prom, Francisco Wilbur. He
was quite handsome and such a flirt! She was shocked he even paid any attention to her. But he did. And Francisco made her feel so special that she could forget
about everything. When they were together life was good and 'normal' again.
Dating Francisco left little time to explore the basement but
the draw was powerful and Delia soon found herself in the basement several more times
before graduation.
