It wasn’t anything she couldn’t talk about on her side, so Sarah told her about going on a cruise with Elisa.

Cole listened and said, “If you guys are planning on going on a cruise this weekend, Abby’s interested too, mind taking the two of us?”

Sarah froze, reacted, and said, “I’ll talk to my sister first and ask her opinion.”

Sarah bent down, catching the little girl in a warm hug. “Abby, it’s been a long time,” she said, smiling.
