My step-Uncle
my step-dad said, moving his hand forward.
I was still just looking at my Mr. Stranger.
"Elora," mom called again.
I exhaled.
"Hello Elbert," I said, giving him a smile.
But my eyes, still from the corner, were looking at my Mr. Stranger.
"And meet him too, Elora—Christian, Elbert’s brother," mom introduced me to Mr. Stranger.
Christian. So this is your name, Mr. Stranger.
"Hello, Elora," he said, giving his hand to me for a handshake.
