It's honestly hard to watch.

Axel pressed his lips together, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else, but when the little girl's face started to crumple and she looked about to burst into tears, he caved. "Alright, let's go."

Instantly, Baby's mood did a 180-tears gone, replaced by a huge grin. She grabbed Axel's hand, bouncing in place. "Thank you, Mr. Axel!"

She turned and called over her shoulder to Elysia, "Mom, I'm going with Mr. Axel to pick up Blossom!"

Elysia shot Axel a look of pure resignation. The whole world knew Blossom had a crush on Axel. Unfortunately, Axel-like Keaton-was a hardcore bachelor.

Axel? He avoided relationships altogether. Didn't even flirt.

Elysia knew exactly what was going on-Blossom had probably roped Baby into matchmaking. She just waved them off. "Go on, then."

Tarquin watched Axel with a knowing squint, secretly impressed with Blossom's tactics. If he'd asked Axel to go pick up Blossom, Axel would've flat out refused. But with Baby asking? Axel was helpless.

Elysia, Tarquin, a few other kids, and family friends Clayton and Pamela all piled into the SUV for the ski resort.
