Narration Sedric and Tommy were seated in the living room of the Rodriguez family home. They were waiting for Lyla to show up. Jaime was due back the next day and they needed to make sure everyone was on board. Sedric paced the floor, his hands crossed behind his back. “Sheesh, will you sit down? You’re making me anxious.” “Where is she? She should’ve been here by now. If she thinks about backing out—“ The doorbell rang. “I’ll get it!” Tommy’s sister rounded the corner from the kitchen where she was making dinner. They listened as she spoke through the door and then opened it. “Lyla! It’s good to see you again! Are you staying for dinner?” Sedric rolled his eyes. “I may. Whatever you’re cooking smells great!” “Awesome! The guys are in the living room. Make yourself at home.”
