His mother clapped her hands. “We have one more gift.” She turned and nodded to Stephen.

Stephen fought back an eye roll and grabbed the large box. He lifted it over his head and squeezed between chairs to make his way to his sister. “A little something Ty and I put together for you.”

Melissa eased her way out of the chair and kneeled in front of the box. “A little something in a pretty big box.” She ripped off the paper, pulled back the strip of packing tape and threw open the flaps.

“Close your eyes.”

“Why?”

“Because I said so. Just do it.”

Melissa did what she was told for once and covered her eyes. Stephen lifted the cradle from the box, pushing the box toward the fireplace with his foot. He set the cradle on the floor in front of her.

“Okay. Open.”

She opened her eyes. For a second she didn’t do anything but blink rapidly. Slowly she stretched out a finger and traced the curve of the wood, almost as if she were afraid to touch it. She covered her mouth and then slid her hand down to cover her heart. Her gaze lifted and stared at him with blue eyes that mirrored his own. “You made this? For me?” Her voice squeaked like one of those baby toys she opened a few minutes ago.

“Well, you’re a little big, don’t you think?”

She buried her face in her hands. Her shoulders shook. Then she sniffed. Was she crying?

Did she hate it? Or just being an emotional, hormonal female?

He prayed it was the latter—all those hours picking out the perfect piece of wood, cutting out the pattern, sanding, polishing.
