We arrived in the town in the afternoon and I guided Martin to the diner. I had barely got out of the

car when I found myself in a hug. CeCe squealed as she hugged me. I laughed and hugged her

“Look who’s talking. You are radiating,” I said to her. She giggled.

“I am annoyingly happy,” she confessed, making me laugh.

“As you should be. Come and meet my friend,” I said and pulled her over to where Martin stood
