The doorbell rang.

“I’ll get it!” I shouted as I tried to beat Grandma to the door. I opened it to find Hannah, wearing a dress and holding a bouquet of flowers.

“I know I’m early,” she said. She was never early. She was almost always ten minutes late for everything, which I had factored in for the evening, but she didn’t need the extra time. She was wearing a dress I had never seen before. I didn’t think she wore anything but jeans and a sweater. Her curly hair was pulled back into a bun. She had taken out her nose ring. Her hand picked at the plastic around the bouquet. Hannah smiled, but there was a look on her face I had never seen before. She was nervous. I didn’t think that was a feeling she knew anything about.

“Your timing is perfect,” I said as I let her in.

“Do I look okay?” she asked me. I felt the Stay Puft residue bubble up inside me.

“You’re perfect too. But you didn’t need to, uh…You could have come like you usually dress.”

“Oh, I’d dress like this if I were visiting my grandma. But she’s no longer with us.”

“I’m so sorry for your loss,” I replied, concerned.

“Oh, no, sorry! I meant she’s no longer with us in Massachusetts! She moved to Florida two years ago,” she said. Both of us laughed. I led her to the dining room, where Grandma was already seated.
