She put the letters on the table, and sat at the counter, opening her letter. Mae walked to the living room, still staring at the letter. On it was a coat of arms: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake, surrounding the letter H. Turning the letter over, Mae saw a purple wax seal. The envelope was thick and heavy, made of beige paper the address was written in emerald-green ink. Shifting through the mail, she found one with her name on it: That evening, when the mail came, Mae went to get it. Then, she was certain that it said, “Thanks,” but she was confused, so she just nodded and went to find her parents. Mae was certain that when the snake turned to look at her, it smiled - as much as a snake could. “You are just so pretty,” Mae said to herself. Mae watched as the snake turned to look at her. They went everywhere, but Mae stayed the longest looking at a tiny snake. It was a very sunny day, and the zoo was crowded with people. Cooper watched as Mae unwrapped a pair of headphones, a photo wall from their trip to Maine, and a model figure of a husky. “It's ok,” Mae said, grabbing the closest one and ripping it open. “We're sorry there are not as many presents this year.” “I am up!” Mae called, jumping out of bed, pulling on her clothes and blearily going into the kitchen where she could smell bacon and eggs.

Nearly six years had passed since the day Mae was brought into the Cooper family. Cooper smiled at the scared looking little girl Mae was sitting in a chair next to another kind looking old woman. An old woman with a kind face greeted them and showed them to a mint colored room. Cooper stepped inside the main office of the adoption center. Cooper slid out of bed, running downstairs still in her silk robe. Cooper read the description, Mae Potter, five years old, born July 2. She seemed to be around five years old, her hair was black and everywhere, her eyes were a brilliant green and there was a dusting of freckles over her nose. Cooper kept coming back to this one girl. Cooper pulled out her computer and brought up the website of the local adoption organization, Ms. Cooper woke up early, she looked out the window and saw an owl sitting on her garden wall. He was short and very annoyed about it, although his hair made up for a few inches. Cooper volunteered for their church every week.
