The next day, in the morning.
An uninvited guest arrived at the Ginger Family.
Early in the morning, Mia Ginger, still half-asleep, was awakened by the loud laughter and conversation in the hallway outside.
There was no outlet for her waking grumpiness.
Mia Ginger irritably turned over, and the door of her room went "bang bang bang."
"Second Cousin!"
"Second Cousin!"
A shrill female voice called twice in succession.
"Let's go downstairs first," Zuri Ginger said softly with a gentle smile on her face, "Mia can be pretty temperamental, let's not wake her."
"I'm just really curious, how come she's still sleeping past nine?"
"She…"
Zuri's words were interrupted as the door to the room was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Mia Ginger ran her fingers through her hair and yawned, "I got caught in the rain yesterday, got a bit of a headache, you are..."
Very unfamiliar, it was the first time she'd seen her.
"You're the genuine cousin?"
