Lena quickly called Mrs. Garcia to share the exciting news. They decided to host Nathan for dinner at Mrs. Garcia’s home. She spent days preparing all kinds of delicious foods to make sure everything went perfect.
Then finally the morning of the reunion dinner arrived. Lena went over to Mrs. Garcia’s house early to help her get everything ready. Mrs. Garcia was a bundle of nervous energy, fluffing cushions, re-arranging photo albums, and fussing over every little detail.
Lena helped set out an assortment of snacks and appetizers for when Nathan arrived. She could sense Mrs. Garcia’s anxiety. “It’s going to be wonderful,” Lena reassured, squeezing her hand.
