Audrey nods."I'll make sure to tell dad you said hi when he comes back." Audrey gives her mom a kiss on the cheek as she leaves. When she reaches the front door, Lauren calls out, "Don't forget to take your shoes off." Audrey laughs and closes the door behind her."Hey there, Dad," Audrey greets him as he enters the house.

Audrey's older brother, Ben, steps into the living room with a plate of pork chops that he puts on the table before sitting across from them."Did you finish eating yet, sweetie?" Lauren asks him while she starts cutting vegetables for the pot roast."Almost,". The plate slips off the table and falls on the floor making a loud sound, pieces of the plate go flying everywhere! Whoops" He picks them up."Don't worry, it isn't that expensive. Let me grab you some napkins." He runs into the kitchen and grabs two more plates,"Thanks"
