Melissa is surprised at what Stephen brings home...
Stephen doesn't want to tell her what it is, though.
What kind of ring is that, Stephen? ("A very pretty one.")
What is it for? ("For Alicia.")
Why are you giving Alicia a ring? ("I'm just hoping she'll wear it for awhile.")


Yet again, a late-night arrival due to more travel difficulties...
but Gabi is in good spirits to play with cousins.
