She gave both of them hugs. "Come on in, it's too hot out here." She led them down the entrance corridor into the family room.

Ella looked up. "Hi, Edward," she called across the room, patting a spot on the couch next to her, for him to sit down.

Ella grinned back at Edward.

Ella grinned again. "Thanks," she said, brushing her hair out of her eyes again.

Ella frowned. "Aaaw," she said in mock whining. "You aren't sitting with me."
