"And what’s your decision, Ben?" Maria asks anxiously.
"He can stay here with you and Kyle," Ben answers.
Maria and Kyle cheer and share a hug.
"But I would like him to come and see me in the summer," Ben says.
"That can be arranged," Maria replies.
"Good," Ben says. He turns to Meg and tells her that he is going upstairs to get their things and that they will be off. Ben walks up the stairs and Meg smiles at Maria and Kyle.
