Carly's eyes looked into his and seemed to search there. Then she smiled. "I heard what you said. I'm glad you're here." "Really?" Nevel thought of himself as quick-witted and fast talking but Carly's words almost made him speechless. And they made him warm. He suddenly thought of himself as the Grinch and wondered if his heart had grown. What Nevel didn't realize until much later is that he had no friends, never had HAD any friends and that there was no one who just accepted him. The simple words from Carly did things to him. "If," and he froze again. "You really are sorry." "I am," he replied honestly. "Nothing like this will ever happen again." "Good." The conversation might have gone on but the room flooded with people. Nevel stepped off to one side and watched. A firm grip on his arm turned him to face Freddie.

"Mamma's great," replied Sam as she breezed past Carly and took the flowers. "Thanks Nevel." With that the blonde girl vanished, taking the flowers with her. Carly burst out laughing at the expression on Nevel's face. "But those were for you!" Nevel exclaimed. "And Sam knew it" reassured Carly, still chuckling. "She's just messing with you. It's what she does with all our friends." Nevel was still getting used to the idea of having friends and the antics they performed. He just shook his head in amazement, making Carly laugh all the more. Freddie entered the room, pushing Sam before him, who was still holding the flowers. "Here," she said with a straight face to Carly, "These are for you." The foursome all laughed and sat down.
