Ding

This is our floor.

Gosh, I hate elevators. They make my stomach feel funny.

Life's going to be tough if you can't even stand elevators...

I'm definitely not looking forward to another plane ride.

It's a wonder you made it all the way here.

The things I do for my little sister.

Mhm.

Wait, hold on.

What's up? Did you forget something?

No, I just wanted to say thanks before we see Danny.

Aw, it was my pleasure. It was fun giving you a tour around campus.

It was nice to meet your lovely roommate.

She and I will greatly appreciate your short class on organization.

I think she was scared of me.

Good.

Good?

Maybe it'll leave an impression on her and she'll never forget.

Let's hope. Come here, I want a hug.

Oof.

Now I don't have to embarrass myself in front of Danny.

Oh, please...

Speaking of Danny, isn't that him?

He kinda stands out in a crowd, doesn't he?

Hush, he might hear you!

No, not his arm. His jewelry! You can hardly see his hand under all those rings.

I asked, and he said he wears both of his parents' wedding bands, his grandparents' wedding bands, and his class ring. That adds up.

It brings more attention to his right hand than his lack of a left one. HEY, DANNY!

At the sound of her voice, Danny whirls around to spot the sisters. He waves them over, rings sparkling in the light. The two weave in and out of the crowd and arrive at his side. He envelopes them both in a side hug.

Long time no see! How's college treating you, Carole?

Pretty good. I'd ask the same of you, but—

Uh-oh.

What?

Ginny looks happy.
