After Aria had enthusiastically showed me her painting, which to my pleasant surprise turned out to be of us playing in the park on Sunday, I headed back to my room to shower and change for dinner while Aria had her private piano lesson with Mrs. West.
Twenty minutes later, I had finished showering and was about to put on my cute dress when I heard Aria’s voice in the distance, across the hallway.
“Is Uncle Scott and Uncle Eric really coming tonight? I can’t wait to see them. I missed them so much ’cause I haven’t seen them for a while. Will Grandpa be coming as well? Will he? Will he?”
I didn’t miss the urgent excitement in her voice. I heard James chuckle and then say, “Yes, sweetheart, Uncle Scott and Uncle Eric are coming but not Grandpa. He’s still in Japan.”
