Maryanne pouted her lips, resting her hands on her hips as she snapped, "Yeah, you should take care of her then!"

"I'm just kidding," Terence said, pointing at another box of croissants on the coffee table. "Yours is over there."

"I know you're the best, Terence!" Maryanne exclaimed before patting Lily's shoulder. "You should also acknowledge him as your brother-it's like winning the lottery in life!"

A smile spread on Lily's face as she nodded. "Sure. I'll make sure to cozy up to you, Terence."

"You're not allowed to," he promptly refused. "Unless you do it in a different way."
