The doorbell rings. My dad answers it. "Rachel, hi!" He says.

"Hey, Robert," she says back.

"Hi, Lucas! What's this?" Lucas hands Dad a gift bag. He opens it.

"It's a picture of us," Michal says. I walk over to them. The picture is in a rectangular black frame. Lucas and Michael are sitting on a white bench with Rachel standing behind them.

"It's beautiful. Thank you," Dad says. "Come in." We walk into the kitchen.

"Rachel, hi! It's so nice to see you!" Mom says, after giving her a hug. Jessie runs over to Michal.

"Michel! I have something for you!" She hands him a superhero action figure.

"When did you get that?" I ask.

"Oh, I bought it in the mail. It came in last night."

"Speaking of last night," Lindsay mumbles.

"Shh!" I say.
