“Girls?" I heard my dad's voice—from the sound of it, he was on the landing.

"Yeah?" we both called back in unison.

"Uh—there's someone named Ralph downstairs who claims he's here to marry Linnie."

"Ah," my dad said. "Well, that makes more sense. I was worried there was going to have to be a duel or something.”
