Lucas had pulled apart the whole front porch, removing all of the deadwood and rusted nails and leaving the skeleton bare. The banging stopped and a few seconds later Lucas found me and Monica in the kitchen.
Monica poured me and Lucas a glass of cold lemonade, "I think we all deserve a little break, don't you?"
"Mom, Katelyn never even signed the final contract."
"Yeah, I almost forgot about that," I said.
Lucas narrowed his eyes at me and Monica casually waved us off, "No bother now, we can get that sorted later, but for now, I need boxes Lucy, and lots of them."

The laughs I've been holding back all day finally burst free and tears sprung to my eyes. I couldn't help it, the dejected look on his face just added insult to injury. My stomach hurt but one look at the thunderous glare Lucas was shooting me, I felt it all bubble up again.
Lucas waved his hand as if to motion for me to go on, "Ha Ha, okay get it out of your system already."
