Griffin eagerly grabbed Elodie's backpack for her, ready to lend a hand.

Adler chimed in, "Heading out already? Why not stick around a bit longer? There's plenty of room here, and Sophie and Colby wouldn't mind at all."

Elodie shook her head with a smile, "We've got a place to crash, and since this is their new home, it's best not to intrude tonight."

Harold nodded, "The Aldridge family has a ton on my plate waiting for me. I'll pass on staying over tonight, but let's catch up soon."

Odie nudged Jonah, "Time to roll."

"A date? Since when?" Adler asked, mid-sentence as Jenna pulled him to his feet.
