Zammie sees Kareena

There was a knock at the door. Everyone turned around to see Mr. G’s eighteen-year-old granddaughter Kareena entering with a tray of tea mugs. She had long charcoal hair that flowed down her back, and she wore a short royal blue dress that sparkled. Zammie’s mouth instantly dried up when he saw her.

          “Hello, everyone,” she said. “Grandma told me to bring you some chai.”

          “Yes, yes, our favorite,” said Mr. G. “Kareena, you’ve met Kyla and Zammie before, haven’t you?”

          “Yes, but the last time I saw you, you were both like six.”

Kyla smiled and took her mug of hot tea. “I think Zammie was seven.”

          “Oh, are you the older one, Zammie?”

Zammie could barely speak. Kareena’s hazelnut eyes were so bright and clear they looked like they had been manufactured by Pixar. “Yeah. I’m twelve now.”  She smelled of rose petals.

          “Don’t be too long, Grandpa, they’re going to be finished with dinner soon.”

          “Okay, we’ll be in shortly.”

Kareena turned back to the two cousins. “Good to see you two again.” She smiled politely.

          “You too, Kareena,” they both answered. Zammie was too embarrassed to look her in the eyes for more than a brief moment.
