John laughed. His voice rumbled deep. "No...no... that's my father... Marco. He's not home yet, and probably wont be home till tomorrow."<br/><br/>Amelia rolled her eyes. "He's on another trip overseas. but he is flying home now. He left a week ago." she mentioned calmly and held her brother's hand tightly. "I thought you weren't coming home till 9."<br/><br/>John sighed. "Yeah, but mom is making dinner for stable boy here. She wanted us to be there. And besides, who could resist mother's cooking?"<br/><br/>She nodded in response to that. "I agree." She turned to Kotaro. "Mom's a good cook, but are you ready for that ride? It helps me relax after a day of being home schooled. Then mom should be done with dinner."<br/><br/>John kept his sharp gaze on Kotaro.
