She was going over the final details of the following morning budget meeting in her studio when the screams and excited yelling from the front door pulled her away from her work. With a sigh Susan got up and headed to see what was the latest family emergency about. Michael better not had stolen his sister's diary again or he would be in serious trouble this time.
"Mum! Mum look what Daddy brought home!" Thirteen year old Elizabeth ran up to her, cheeks rosy and eyes as bright as her smile.
"He's home already? That's wonderful, honey," she replied with a smile. So far as she was concerned, as long as the present wasn't a cat to mess with Michael's allergies or a new exotic musical instrument for Elizabeth to maul on a regular basis, she was more than happy to see James coming home earlier than his usual 8pm.
"It’s wonderful, mum, you'll never believe it! Come on, you have to see Elmer!" Michael arrived at a run as well and between the two siblings they practically dragged her to the front door in a matter of moments.
Before looking outside Susan frowned, Elmer? Why did the name make her think about the old picture books she used to read to Michael?
As she looked outside, the first thing she noticed was the slightly guilty look on James’ face, then her eyes took in the wall of long shaggy fur and what looked like seemingly endless tusks, jutting out from something the size of a bus, standing behind her husband.
"If I say he followed me home, are you still going to make me sleep on the couch, sweetheart?"
