After a day of teaching, whining and a lot of smiles, Celeste dropped the present (parcel) she had brought for Neil when coming from the school, on the table in the living room. Carly took up the wrapped gift and studied it, curious of what was in the box.“Sis, what’s this? Who is it for?”“It’s a present for Neil. A video game, He loved this when we lived into the city, I happen to see it when coming and I bought it.”“Okay. I’m sure he’ll like it very much.”“Speaking of which, where is he?

Neither of them saw the Family-Carly, Neil and the old man (Mr. Trevor), standing at the front parlor window, barely concealed by the white lace curtains.“I knew it,” Mr. Trevor crowded. “There’ll be a double summer wedding or I’ll chew my cowboy hat in worries”“Some kisses don’t necessarily make a marriage” Carly said. As she jumped in excitement, giggling.“But this is a miracle, dad. Celeste is in love again”“True,” Mr. Trevor agreed. “They are so bright.
