Helen had been waiting for them at the door. As their car pulled up outside the Hadley residence, she quickly turned over her shoulder and reported happily, “Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, they’re here!”

“Grandpa, Grandma!” Lucas and Camila released their parents’ hands and ran to their grandparents.

“Oh, Lucas, Camila.” Julia bent down to give her grandchildren a warm hug.

Christina glared at Nathaniel but still gobbled up the food he served her.

Charlie and Julia took in their affectionate actions.
