Emmeline tapped Sam’s nose playfully. “Do you really? If you really miss me so badly, would you take long to return?”

“Enough teasing me.” Sam blinked her big eyes. “I bought you lots of gifts, and of course, gifts for Doris and Janic too.”

Luca brought over a pile of bags totaling more than a dozen packages.

“Ms. Emmeline, they’re all here. I can’t tell whose is whose. Let Sam distribute them to you.”

“I did.” Luca replied somewhat bashfully. “Of course I did.”
