Laura - Oltenia pack’s meeting grounds

I guess my performance yesterday was up for the task since today I stand on the grounds of the Oltenia pack.

Paul gets out of the car, carrying lots of shopping bags. He didn’t want to leave Bucharest until Dan came with these packs, which I believe are filled with gifts.

I look up at him, wondering what he has in mind.

“Are you ready?” he asks.

“Yes, I am."

But before I can take another step, Paul is surrounded by kids of various ages, all asking for sweets and toys.

Soon, I realize I was right. I remain a few feet behind him, smiling. Paul looks like an uncle who lives abroad, and on the rare occasions he visits, he has to share gifts for all the events he has missed.

Adults stay back and wait for the jumble of children to disperse. Something that happens sooner rather than later, right when everyone is happy with what they got.

A tall, broad-shouldered guy with beautiful amber eyes walks forward when the path is clear.
