“Thank you, Luna Hannah,” Zoe said with more sincerity than I had expected.

“Thank you for choosing us as your pack,” I said in an almost sickeningly sweet tone. I turned my attention to her son. “Tell me, how old are you, Adam?”

Adam shyly held up four fingers.

Zoe smiled and ran her fingers through Adam’s golden locks.

“He’s four years old,” she said proudly. “He’s also a bit shy around new people.”

I smiled brightly down at Adam.

“That’s all right. It’s good to be a little cautious in front of strangers.”

I turned back to Zoe.

“With your permission,” I continued, “I have prepared gifts for all the Pack’s children in advance of the upcoming Lunar Festival, and I’d like to give Adam his now. It might be just the thing to make him feel at home.”

Zoe motioned forward with her hand.

“Be my guest.”

I reached back amongst the bags of supplies, where I had hidden Adam’s gift from even Noah’s sight. I pulled out the box encased in shiny red wrapping paper and handed it to Adam. The boy turned the gift over carefully, as though he were unsure of what to do with it.

“Go ahead, sweetheart,” Zoe encouraged him. “Open it.”

Giving his mother one last look, Adam tore apart the wrapping paper and tossed it aside with abandon. His eyes widened upon seeing the Transformer Optimus Prime action figure. He looked at his mother again, then a smile stretched across his face, and he began jumping up and down.

“Mommy, Mommy, look!” he exclaimed, jamming his finger against the box repeatedly.

“I know, I see,” Zoe said, almost laughing with joy herself. “That’s a very special gift. What do you say to Luna Hannah?”
