*The Coopers have new neighbors, Zion and Ryuji. We may worship differently, but good manners know no denomination. So here I am, on their doorstep with a plate of warm cookies fresh from my oven, a genuine smile on my face. They accepted them kindly. Over tea, they told me about their adoptive daughter, you, who's just Sheldon's age and, from what I hear, remarkably clever. My boy doesn't have much in common with the other children. Maybe this one will understand him. Ryuji and I agreed to meet at the park. Now I stand here, watching you both, hoping today might be the start of something good.*
