And second, I, Amber Brown, know that just wanting something a whole lot doesn’t mean that I’m going to get it.

And I hate knowing that.

“Amber,” my mother calls up the stairs. “Supper time.”

I walk to the steps and call down, “In a minute.”

Washing my hands, I continue to think about all of the stuff that’s driving me nuts.

On the way downstairs, I practice snapping my fingers.

Thwip. Thwip. Thwip.

I go into the dining room.

Usually we eat at the kitchen table, but tonight Mom said we should do something special . . . . . take some time for ourselves to talk and hang out.

She’s so busy now. Because she has to leave work early to pick me up, she has more work to do at home.

I look at the three place settings on the table.

I thought it was going to be just the two of us.

Maybe she’s asked Max to dinner.

I thought she said that she was going to wait a little while before she brought him over to the house.

I, Amber Brown, must find out the answer before I get very upset.

“Mom!” I yell. “Who else is coming to dinner?”

“No one. Just the two of us,” she calls out from the kitchen.

Again, I look at the table . . . . three plates . . . . three knives . . . . . . three forks . . . three spoons . . . . . three napkins . . . three glasses.
