The keys were right there on the front seat. I pulled up the little knob to unlock the door and Mr. King opened it up wide. “Well done!” he said. Mrs. King clapped her hands,and Evie did, too.

I hopped down from the front seat. Dad was back on the sidewalk and he squeezed me to him. “Good job, darling,” he said.

Mr. King pulled his wallet out of his pocket. “This deserves a reward. How about a dollar?”

“That’s not necessary, Hugh,” Dad said. “Right Stel?”

I shook my head, even though I think I really deserved the dollar because I had the scrape on my side. It was starting to hurt a little bit.

”Good things come in small packages, now don’t they?” He patted the top of my head, like I was a puppy.

“That was really amazing,” Evie said, smiling. And just like that, she started to like me.

“How about ice cream for all?” Mr. King asked.

I didn’t answer, because what if Evie still wanted to ring her friend Tesa, whatever that meant? But then Evie said, “Yes!”

So we all went. Even Mrs. King, who took a break from unpacking, and even Dad. “You can carpool to school with us if you want,” I told Evie. It was Mrs. Benson’s turn to drive to school. She’s Penny’s friend Zoey’s mom. I was sure she wouldn’t mind.

“I’ll be taking Evie on Monday,” Mrs. King said. “There are a lot of forms to fill out for the first day.”

“So you’ll see each other in school then,” Dad said.

I grinned across the table at Evie. We sure would.
