Miss Amelia smiles. "Oh child. It's fine. You make him smile. That's more'n he's done in a while." She looks over to where the guys are arguing about who's the ugliest in the room. "You get flour in my kitchen, you'll be cleanin', boys!"

"Yes Grandmama."

"Yes, Miss Amelia."

She smiles. "Now, you see these roses? Kevin took cuttings up to that fancy house in New York to start them there." They're pink roses that are small, but growing steadily in the garden, tended by both Kevin and Ororo.
