Chapter 0121

"Ah, the life of a jet-setting international playboy," Eamon says mockingly.

Landon sighs, being sarcastically dramatic, "Yes, it's a tough life, but someone's got to do it!"

We all laugh together, enjoying the comfortable silliness for what may prove to be the last time in who knows how long.

I spend the rest of the night dancing away with Ruby, my best friend. We've spent so many night up to this point reminiscing about the past, worrying about the future, and fearing the moment we'd finally have to say goodbye. But tonight is about fun.

The kids join us on the makeshift dancefloor, a giant square of wooden flooring Eamon's servants added to the back garden for this occasion. Mia, Ethan, Ruby, and I danced and danced and danced, laughing until our sides were sore. When its time to see Ruby off, nothing but joy fills my heart. It's the perfect way to say goodbye. There's no tears, no sad goodbyes. Instead, we smile at each other, thankful that we got to spend such a lovely night together. I'm still riding the high of such a fun time when Ruby closes the door to the black town care that is taking her to the airport. She waves at us through the window, smiling in that bright, magnetic way of hers. "I'll be back before you know!" Ruby yells to the children. "Auntie Ruby will see you soon!"

"Wait! Wait up just a moment please!" Landon yells to Ruby as he races to the car, stuffing his suitcases in the trunk.
