'Ding-dong'
Yvonne Young was in the bathroom when she faintly heard the doorbell. She turned off the faucet and walked out while listening carefully. At the bathroom door, Sandra's little figure ran past her.
"Mommy, it's the doorbell."
Sandra ran barefoot to the door and pointed at it, yelling.
Yvonne nodded to her, "I know, I know. I'll open the door, you go put on your shoes."
The little girl pouted, "I'll open it."
She tiptoed and reached to press the door key. The lock was unlocked.
This late at night, Yvonne was a bit scared. She quickly picked up Sandra and saw a familiar woman standing at the door. >
Yvonne's face showed a fleeting surprise, too fast to be caught, before it turned cold.
Instead of waiting for her to speak, Mandy Carter greeted her with a smile first, "Ella Quinn, hello."
With one hand, Mandy waved to Sandra in Yvonne's arms, and with the other, she handed something over to Yvonne.
