It was time for dinner when Emma and Angelo headed inside.
As the two of them approached the dining room, Emma heard clamor. She assumed that the noise was from the staff members who were setting the table but when she stepped in, she realized that she was wrong.
Several tables were lined in succession, forming one long one that stretched from the dining room to the connected family room (where other furniture was pushed aside to make space).
There were more than fifty people seated and they all quieted down when Emma and Angelo appeared. Ryan and Sean were present as well and the twins gave encouraging smiles to their sister as everyone observed Emma with curiosity.
Emma remembered that Angelo mentioned a few guests, but this was definitely more than a few.
