After Marvin got promoted, his work gave him an apartment in the city, but it had gotten pretty rundown. Marvin’s daughter was home from college for the holidays, and today, she was in the kitchen with her mom, busy hosting guests.

When they arrived downstairs, Quinlyn opened the car door and saw the familiar little building. She paused for a second, lost in thought

Even though they hadn’t seen each other in years, Quinlyn recognized her instantly. It was Marvin’s only daughter, Jolie Duffy.

“Hi,” Quinlyn said, awkwardly clutching the candy jar in her hands, clearly a little shy.

“Whoa, Quinlyn, you’re shy now?” Stanley teased, poking her cheek. He was surprised by her change. Joseph quickly stepped in and pulled his arm away.
