“Alvin, let them come in.” Grandmother said from inside the house.
I released my python like grip on Beth and pulled the three of them through the door.
“I take it our arrival is a surprise?” Phil, Joey’s dad, said to me as he messed up my long greasy hair.
I wiped at my tears and nodded my head.
“I just wish we could have been here sooner.” Beth said to Grandmother.
“The important thing is you are here now.” Grandmother said to her.
However, Phil wasn’t done with my hair just yet. He tousled it, and then tousled it some more before finally saying, “What on earth is this mess atop your head?” he didn’t say it mean or nothing but he wasn’t exactly joking either.
