Sara received the news exactly as everyone expected she would.
With quiet happiness.
And immediate planning.
"A boy deserves a proper welcome dinner."
That was the announcement.
Not a suggestion.
Not a discussion.
An announcement.
Within twenty-four hours invitations had been delivered to:
Sam.
Mei Lin.
Elara.
Oliver.
Chloe.
Porter.
Marcus.
Several members of the former gossip gang.
Apparently.
The dinner would happen in Sara's little house above the bookstore.
Attendance was mandatory.
