She held a basket of groceries in one arm, and in the other, a small, brightly colored book. He wasn't sure what it was at first, but when she smiled and said, "Ni hao, Mark," he knew.

He couldn’t wait to ask a thousand questions at once. He helped her with the groceries, his mind already racing with possibilities. He started to talk, gesturing wildly with his hands, then looked over at her. He wanted to learn *everything*.
