Home Sweet Home

2

We were winding down the now familiar road to the island.

My family had already planned out the house.

My parents would get the large room, my uncle would get the smaller one,and my sister and I would share the top floor area.

The gang hooked up some stair lifts so it would be easier on my parents' joints.
....

We parked in our garage space and took out our bags.

The moving van would be here in a couple hours so we had some time to wait.

I started walking down to the dock and found Ben, Tory and Shelton working on Sewee.

Hi was no where in sight.

Until.

Whack!

I was wrapped in a vicious hug by Hiram

But he was tripped while I was in his grasp and we fell.

He half landed on me, I was face first in the sand when he got up and helped me do the same.

"Did I surprise ya?" He asked. Eyes bright with a  golden glow.

"Yeah. And just about crushed me too."
