Katie was used to doing mostly everything around the house during the day, including answering the door when people came over. Her brother only ever went to answer when he knew someone was calling for him. The rest of the time, it was all Katie. And since she'd taken to hanging around the first floor for the past couple weeks, she was pretty close when Emily knocked.
"Hi," she said, pulling the door open and standing aside to let Emily in. It had been a while since they'd hung out. Katie wasn't really sure why, apart from the fact that she had a summer job and hadn't really been hanging out with anyone apart from James and Ben. But all the same, it was good to see her friend. "Come on in."
