Amelia thought that entering the house would reveal a scene of violent strife.

Christopher was with Hope on the balcony, enjoying the sunset while teasing Little Dunham.
Meanwhile, Kane and the brothers had taken over the living room, with various LEGO pieces strewn all over the floor and the coffee table.

"Get away! She's my mommy! You can't hug her!" Hope had spent most of the day here without playing with her brothers, sticking with Little Dunham instead.
Now that she saw her brothers vying for their mother's attention, she became stubborn again.
