“Alright, who’s ready for a show?” She said allowed.

 

“ WE DO!” Was her reply.

 

“Then let’s get to it. What do you want us to sing?”

 

They gave her and Lauren a list and the two of them went to work. Sean herd the music and wanted to know where it was coming from. Walking out into the hall he almost ran into Amy.

 

“Do you know where the music is coming from?” He asked.

 

“Ya, it’s Sandy and Lauren. They sing all the time. They are actually really good, and the kids love to watch and listen to them sing.”

 

“Oh, thanks,” Sean said and turned to go back into the library. Looking back he saw that Amy was gone and then he went to the door of the Music room and peeked in through the door. He looked in and was amazed. He couldn’t stop starring at Sandy. She looked so familiar and she……….. He couldn’t describe it. She looked different than other girls, meaning she looked clean and not caught up in the trends of fashion. She looked pure to him. He looked over at his niece and nephews who were smiling as big as ever. Plus the kids loved her to death. They even called her Aunt Sandy, even though there was no family relationship. And back to the familiar part, he was going to have to ask his dad when he got here in a few days. What brought him out of his thoughts was the door bell ringing.

 

Sighing, he scurried back to the library, not wanting to be caught watching. He then acted like he was doing some work on one of Sandy’s computers that she had in the library/ office. In a way he was doing some work. He worked for his dad’s family company of landscaping. He was trying to put different designs into different files.

 

Amy came to answer the door so that those in the Music room wouldn’t be disturbed.

 

“Hi!” Amy said as she answered the door, “Can I help you?”

 

“Yes, is this Sandy’s house?” Asked a man who was standing with a woman at his side.

 

“Yes it is,” replied Amy. “Why don’t you come in? She is just in the room off the entry. You can follow me.”

 

“Thank you,” said the man and woman together.

 

Being in the library, Sean got up to listen. The man looked about his own age and the woman looked around that too.

 

“Do you know Sandy?” Asked Amy with a smile, looking towards them to get her reply before she answered the door.

 

“We both do,” came the reply from the woman this time. “We went to school with her; we were in town and found out where she lived from some old friends. We came by to see how she was doing, we wanted to see her before we left to go back home.”

 

“That’s nice of you; I’m her cousin, Amy. I live here with her. Well let’s go and get her,” and with that Amy turned opened the door and led the two people in the room. It was perfect timing too, because Sandy and Lauren had just finished a song and the kids were clapping loudly.

 

“Sandy, you have some visitors,” Amy said getting Sandy’s attention.

 

Turning around Sandy had a smile on her face.

 

“Why Tasha and Kyle, this is a surprise,” Sandy said shaking both of there hands. “It’s been a long time, what brings you two here?”

 

While the two of them where explaining Sean had walked in with baby Sarah in his arms, who was looking very happy. Seeing this, Sandy motioned for him to come over. As he was walking over the other kids had left with Lauren and Amy to go and put some stuff together for lunch.

 

“Tasha and Kyle, I would like you to meet Sean and Baby Sarah.” Sandy said, taking baby Sarah who was squirming for reach of Sandy.

 

“It’s nice to meet you Sean,” Kyle said shaking his hand.

 

“And you too,” Sean said back and also nodding his head to Tasha. “Were you friends with Sandy in school?” Asked Sean as he sat down next to Sandy on the couch, handing Sarah her baby toy that she had been playing with when she had crawled into the library and he was walking out to see what was going on.
