Jamie couldn't shake the strange feeling in her heart, like she had been set up somehow. Was it just her imagination?

Shaking her head, she walked into the kitchen. Behind her, Charlie immediately stopped wiping his tears and sneaked a glance at her as she busied herself. "Uncle Ben, did I do a good job just now?" Ben smirked. "Perfect."

""What is it?"

"Open it and see."
