I liked her first

Mirabel got out of the car and followed behind as Joel picked the things they bought from the car booth. His mother and sister soon rushed out of the house. Jane and her mother looked at Mirabel excitedly and she got startled when she turned to see them.

''Sister in law'' Jane said and hugged Mirabel. Joel shook his head and went ahead leaving them alone. He had something more pressing to deal with.

''Sister in law?'' Mirabel relaxed under the girl's embrace and Jane soon stepped aside.

''You are Mirabel, right?''

''Aunt, you are the one who called me earlier, right?''

''Yes, you are even prettier than the pictures we saw, right Jane?''

''Right. I told you, elder brother has eyes for good things''

''You are welcome. I am Joana, Joel's mother but you can call me aunt''

''Yes, aunt''

''Let's go inside. I saw that Joel carried some things inside. Did you buy them for us?''
