Rena and Izzy didn’t know what to expect when the door swung open. They saw a relatively normal looking lady, standing in a relatively normal house, with a relatively normal smile on her face.

“Hello?” the woman asked, “How may I help you?”

“Hi,” Rena said, “Our parents told us that we could find our friend here?”

Izzy added, “Her name is Nicole!”

“Oh, yes! Little Nicole!” the woman said, “She is such an angel. We feel so blessed to have had her come into our lives..”
