Coleen flicked off the light and spun around to her daughter. "Hit the sack, honey."

After spending the evening with her daughter, she was as fresh as a daisy the next day.

Seeing her husband, she laughed and said, "You've got nothing on our daughter when it comes to cheering me up."

Mr. Kendrick, clueless about why his wife was on cloud nine, couldn't help but join in. "What did our little girl whisper in your ear?"

Coleen said, "She gave me a piece of her mind."

Molly didn't grill Saul about what had happened the night before. The next day, she asked her dad, "Dad, I have a bone to pick with you about my cousin Saul."

Molly hopped over to Chad and called him sweetly.

"Don't bug me." Chad was not interested in her buttering him up and shoved her away, "You give me a headache just looking at you."

Molly had become the black sheep of the family, even her doting brother Chad was giving her the cold shoulder.

At noon, Chad received a work call and left without even grabbing a bite.

Soon after, Mr. Kendrick also got a tip-off call at home and he too left to handle it.

Seeing that the house was empty, Molly grumbled, "Why is everyone busy as a bee and I'm the only one twiddling my thumbs?"
