Book 3: Patching Up with My Uncle

Lyra’s POV

I followed him outside to see a brand-new stunning blue Ford pickup truck on our snow-covered driveway. A gasp escaped my lips. “For you,” said Leandros, handing me the keys.

“Wow! I can’t believe it, Leandros. Thank you for buying me my first car!” I had been driving my uncle’s cars or hitching a ride all my life. Now, I had a car of my own.

“Oh! I’m honored to be the first and only one to buy you a car.” He opened the door and showed me the interiors. The triplets too came out to check.

“Will you now come to school every day to pick us up, Mom?” asked Lucius.

I smiled and nodded at them. “We’ll head to Hungry Wolf tomorrow after school.”

“Yay! Can we have pizza, please?” asked Liana.

“Yes, please. We’ve never eaten out,” said Lazarus. I looked at Leandros, seeking permission to take them out. Maybe he didn’t want them to eat out.

“Sure, go ahead. I might join you too,” said Leandros with a chuckle.
