Just as Andy and her guests finished having breakfast, the doorbell rang, and Andy hurried to answer it.
When she opened the door, she found Candace standing there with Jamal by her side.
"Where did you drop your stupid phone? You seem to always forget how to use a phone whenever he's around," Candace snapped, and Andy giggled.
"Sorry. I've been busy. Come in!" Andy greeted them warmly. "I'm so glad you could make it, Jam. How are you feeling today?" She asked Jamal who was unusually quiet.
"I'm fine," he said as he took the hand she held out.
Andy led them inside, and Candace paused when she spotted Alex standing by the staircase. She looked at him for a moment, unsure how to greet him.
"Alex, you know my sister, Candace. This is my nephew, Jamal," Andy said, and Alex looked at Candace, not sure how to greet her too.
