"Derrik!" Ana screeched as she turned around and saw her other brother coming out of the bathroom.
She launched herself into her his arms. He easily lifted her up as he hugged her tightly against his chest. She couldn't believe how long it had been since she had gotten to hug Derrik.

"Set me down so I can introduce you to Steve!" Ana tried to wriggle out of their arms.
"Yes. Let's meet the boyfriend," Aleks narrowed his eyes.
