Craig looked up and saw Sammy and Gabriel come across the street. Sammy sat Gabriel down on the garage floor next to Paige who reached over and hugged him. He laid his sock monkey into her lap and then hugged her back.
The song finished and Paige and Dylan applauded. Gabriel clapped his hands and jumped up and down.
"Hey Gabe," Craig said, taking his guitar off and sat it down. Then he reached down and picked Gabriel up.
"Craig!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Craig said.
Gabe looked down at Paige's lap where his sock monkey was. "Monkey," he said.
Paige handed it up to him and then stood up. "Hi Gabe," she said.
"Hi Paige," he replied, smiling at her. He held his monkey up. "Monkey."
"Yeah, it's a monkey," Paige said.
Craig looked at Sammy and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her on the lips. Sammy pulled back.
Joey walked out. "Are any of you guys hungry or thirsty?" he asked. "I just got back from grocery shopping. But don't eat everything." Joey's eyes darted toward Spinner.
"What?" Spinner asked.
Everyone laughed.
"Hey Sammy," Joey said.
"Hi," Sammy replied in a low voice.
Craig's right, he thought. She doesn't seem like Sammy.
"Bye bye Joey," Gabriel said, as Joey turned and left.
"See you, Gabe," Joey exclaimed.
Joey loves Gabriel, Sammy thought. And Craig loves Gabe. I'm sure Craig would love another one. But I'm still not sure.
Everyone walked into the house. "You coming?" Craig asked, looking at Sammy.
"Yeah," Sammy replied. "Craig."
"Yeah?" Craig asked looking at her.
"I have something to tell you."
