Brandon stood in awe at the size of the mansion, oblivious to everything else until someone tapped him on the shoulder. Terrified that he had somehow committed a faux pas or perhaps that a policeman had come to cart away someone who was so obviously out of place, Brandon jumped a bit at the touch and turned to see who his potential assailant was with wide eyes betraying his emotions. The sight of Amelia in her white dress assured him there was little to worry about, but it did not slow his panicked heartbeat much. 

The small amounts of sign language Brandon had picked up over a few years of chatting with Amelia (and a summer course he had taken between his 7th- and 8th-grade years) helped him understand what Amelia was asking, and he returned her smile with one of his own. [color=00a99d]"Amelia! I didn't see you drive up!"[/color] Out of all of his friends, Brandon had most hoped Amelia would be present. Not sure what else he should say, and feeling like his gift was rather our of place, he held the bouquet of a dozen roses out to Amelia. [color=00a99d]"Uh... I brought a gift. Do you want one?"[/color]

He was still holding the roses towards Amelia when Jocelyn approached. Without even realizing he was doing so, he retracted the flowers. "Oh, I could carry one if you want," Brandon offered. He only had a single bag anyways, and despite not having participated in many sports or other strength-building exercises, he still had a decent amount of natural muscle on his large frame. [color=00a99d]"Truth is, I don't really know what to expect. I hope it will be pretty fun."[/color]

Brandon had barely gotten the words out of his mouth when the door opened and they were welcomed. A peek inside left Brandon completely dumbfounded. He was relatively sure his entire house could fit inside the first room in this estate. He was still gawking when Eva brushed past him and dropped her bags off as if it were just another day for her. He didn't even get a chance to say hello before she was on to the next room.

In all the confusion, one thing stood out in his mind. He had seen Eva, Jocelyn, and Amelia, and the maid had mentioned Elizabeth. That was four girls... and just him? This would either be the most uncomfortable or most fun summer Brandon had ever experienced. He stepped inside the building and briefly set down his own bag. [color=00a99d]"Uh... nice place?"[/color] he offered hesitantly to the butlers standing nearby.
