Maya smiled looking as Josh was busy cooking while she was watching some old show on television.
She brushed her hair away shaking her head as they heard the door.

"If that's Colton tell him I'm not on the mood," Maya said as Josh opened the door.
"What did you do? Maya, it's Colton," Josh said and Maya exhaled switching off the television.
"What are you doing here?" Maya asked.
"Came to see my sister," Cole said.
"No you came to tell me to come with you because you want to introduce me to your wife and son and to Angela. I don't have the strength for people yet, Colton," Maya said.
"But you have strength for him? Angela will be happy to see you," Cole said.
"I don't have strength to meet my in-laws just yet. Please respect that," Maya said.
"Call me when you have time then. I bet your father will also be happy to see you," Cole said as he left.

"What's going on?" Josh asked and Maya exhaled.
"Wants me to meet the whole family of over 15 people. My sister, her husband, my father, his wife and son, his in-laws. I don't have the strength for that just yet. I just found my brother again," Maya said.
"You also don't have to. Maya, just tell him you don't have the energy for everyone. I'm sure eventually he'll understand," Josh said causing Maya to smile.
