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