 Sam stood in front of the two double doors that lead into her family's penthouse. She smiled to herself as she thought about the conversation that she had with Justin, a complete stranger to her.

She opened the right oak door and pranced in to the large area. She looked over to see her little sister sitting, on the floor in the living room, playing with her dolls.

"Hey. Where's Reed?" Sam asked as she placed her back pack on to the floor by the front doors.

"He's in his office," Cami said, not looking up from her play objects.

"Is he busy?" Sam asked as she walked over to the younger girl.

"He's on the phone," The girl said as she looked up to her older sister with her pure blue eyes.

Sam sat down next to Cami and picked up one of the three dolls that laid on the floor.

"Do you want to play with me?" The little girl asked with excitement in her voice.

For the past month, Sam had been so depressed that she barely spent much time with her younger sister.

"Sure, why not?" Sam said as she giggled slightly.

Sam picked up a small pink brush and combed it through the doll's long blond hair. Cami began to braid her doll's hair.

Sam grinned over at her,

"Hey, I have an idea."

After about 25 minutes the two girls still remained in the living room, except this time there was a small cardboard runway.

"A fashion show!" Sam shouted quietly.

Cami clapped her hands in excitement. Sam picked up one of the dolls and moved it along the catwalk, Cami smiled in pure joy. Twirling the doll back around, Sam moved the doll down to the other end on the runway.

Cami quickly stood up, she wobbled over to the small cardboard platform. Picking up two of her dolls, she did as Sam did, moved them down the walk way.

Sam clapped quietly and grinned at her sister.

A moment later, Reed came walking down the spiral stair case. He stopped and smiled as he saw his two little sisters playing on the living room floor.

"What are my two favorite girls doing?" He asked as he walked over to the two girls.

"A fashion show!" Cami shouted as she threw her small hands into the air. Reed chuckled as he proceeded to sit down next to Sam.

"Well, I didn't get to see it!" Reed said, which caused Cami to jump up and run to the cardboard runway.

Sam smiled, today had turned out to be better then she thought it would be.

Justin still remained in Central Park, reading his assignment. He had finished about half of the book already. Finishing the chapter he was on, he pulled out a bookmark and placed it inside the book.

He slung his book bag over his shoulder and began to descend out of the park. He had exactly ten blocks to walk to reach his apartment building. As he walked down the side walks, he began to think about the girl that he had met at the park. He remembered that she had said her name was Sam and that she had loved the book that he was reading, which proved that she was a well educated girl.

She had seemed nice to him, even though she was a complete stranger.

He turned a corner and still continued to walk down the side walks.
