"Yeah, she'll be here soon, sweetie. You know how much she loves spending time with you guys," I say with a smile, brushing her hair out of her face. "Aunt Lisa too." "Yay!"

"Hey sis."4 say as she approaches. "How's life?"

"Life is amazing!" Cass exclaims, arms outstretched as she makes her way in, like she's on top of the world. "Gabriel's amazing, work is amazing, everything is amazing. You don't have to worry about a thing" 1 smile. "Great."

Cass immediately drops down onto the floor with the kids, pulling Sarah and Abby into a hug. Then she fist -bumps Bobby and they talk a foreign Minecraft language.

I'm going to miss you guys so much."

"Yeah, she's just trying to keep it upbeat for the kids," I say. "They are going to miss Cass a lot."

Anne comes over, wiping her hands on a towel. "Dinner's just about ready. I'll help settle the kids after they eat, then I'll leave you three to catch up." "Thanks, Anne," I say, appreciating the help. "Feel free to come join us."

"I think an early night is beckoning me. But thanks anyway."
