130 - Karen...

When I'd finished talking to my aunt and uncle, we went to the back of the house where the rest of the family was gathered.

As soon as I appeared with them, I noticed the confused and curious expressions of the other people, but there was one person who didn't have that on his face.

The moment I appeared, I heard a sweet, excited voice.

"Noah!" My grandmother shouted my name as she slowly approached me with a big smile on her face.

When I heard her call me Noah, I smiled too as I realized that some people had started to recognize me, but the confusion of my changed appearance was glaring on their faces.

At that moment, the people in the background were just my grandmother, my grandfather, my Uncle Ben who was tending the barbecue, and Ethan who was running with Sophie and James.

My uncles' wives were inside the house, as far as I could see through the kitchen window.
