Paragraph 1: Stuart’s cousin brought a cake and two luscious pies, and his neighbors made a massive pot of chili. His mom took care of the salad, soft drinks, and appetizers and decorated the room with streamers and signs that yelled “Surprise!” Uncles, friends, and neighbors circulated from room to room but avoided the picture window near the front door. Stuart’s dad did his best to stay out from under foot, though he still managed to trip up Aunt Sue, who insisted on forcing an enormous balloon bouquet through the front door. It seemed as though everyone knew that Stuart’s older sister (and very best friend) Marissa had come home—everyone except Stuart.

When Marissa agreed to work overseas in a developing nation before beginning her first semester of college, Stuart’s heart had broken. But the year had passed, and Marissa now stood in the kitchen waiting patiently to surprise her brother.

Paragraph 4: “Jerrica is picking up Stuart and her son Wes at 3:15—right about now!— so they should be here by 3:25. Aunt Sue, would you shift the balloons to the living room so that people can get around the entire table?” Mom delivered plates and bowls from the kitchen to the table as she spoke, a model of efficiency and calm in the middle of a happy storm of talkative visitors.
