Max handed two glasses of cold water to Emma Hart and Damien Sterling, who were sitting on the wooden bench.
"When did you move here?" Emma Hart asked.
"Not long ago," Max replied, scratching his head.
"I'll go make dinner; you guys just sit and relax," Max said as he headed towards the kitchen.
Emma Hart sat inside the house, feeling completely out of place. She had no desire to see her grandmother.
Soon, the door opened again, and Grandma Hart walked in with two full bags of vegetables, shouting, "Max! Come help me with the groceries!"
"Just a second!" Max shouted back.
"Grandma," Emma Hart greeted her grandmother coldly and then walked over to help with the groceries.
