February: Surprised by a Secret Admirer

Sean and Kayla have lived next door to each other, they will tell you, for all their lives. Now, in dog years, that would be a long time. However, in human years, it has not been that many.

Kayla and Sean are only children but certainly not lonely children. Kayla lives with her mother, Debby, and Sean lives with his father, Brian. As long-life neighbors, they do many things together.

Sean and Kayla ride their bikes and fly their kites. They attend the same school where learning is first rate and read books into the night until quite late. At the same church they always pray and stay with their families the rest of the day.

Kayla and Sean share the same friends in the neighborhood and go to summer camp at Fort Hood. They quickly glide down water slides and enjoy bumpy rides on roller coasters that fly!

Sean and Kayla for Christmas dress like elves and in karate class they defend themselves. They play ball on many teams and then order out their favorite pizza supreme!

When at home Kayla and Sean on their computers roam for while on the World Wide Web they are often fed. And you may not believe that this is so, but their favorite ice cream is chocolate chip cookie dough! Yes, Sean and Kayla were forever friends from before dusk to after dawn. That is the way it has been for almost all of Sean and Kayla’s years.

Valentine’s Day was fast approaching. Sean and Kayla have exchanged Valentine cards since the second grade. This year, Sean wanted to do something extra special in appreciation of his friendship with Kayla; but what to do? Sean thought and thought and then thought some more. When he was done thinking he thought even more. How could he surprise Kayla?

Sean knew that Kayla liked mystery and adventure. He decided to give her both: a mysterious adventure and an adventurous mystery!
