"I don't know what you're talking about Dad, there is no party here. We're just talking." I pulled Makai by the hand and sat on the love seat near the tree to avoid his sharp eyes.

"Uh huh." I didn't see his grin, but I could hear it in his voice. There was no way he sounded that excited and wasn't grinning like a damn lunatic.

"How about we just get to the present opening now? There is something for all of you. Analise, I hope you don't mind, but your gift is homemade and sort of last minute." Mom was grinning but with embarrassment when she was finished speaking.

"Oh, Steph, you didn't need to prepare anything for us. I am sorry that we didn't bring anything for you. We didn't know until last night that we were coming here at all." Makai's mom looked embarrassed now as well.

"Yeah, Ocean did surprise us all with that one, didn't he?" Mom's words made my brother look at me with glee.
