Chapter 1000

After Pattie started school, the house felt noticeably quieter.

Katelyn, ever the doting grandma, was up at the crack of dawn and off to

Southridge Estates to see her grandkids. She came loaded with bags-new toys, special treats, the works.

But Katelyn hadn't forgotten last time, when Pattie had put her way down on her "favorite people" list. Salma, the other grandma, had beaten her by a mile. This visit, Katelyn decided to make up lost ground with Emmie and Nancy.

She waved a shiny new toy in front of Nancy. "Hey, sweetheart, do you want a new toy?"

"I do!" Nancy's eyes sparkled. She could never resist something new.

Katelyn knew she couldn't win against Mom and Dad, but at least she wasn't being left out entirely. Still, she tried again. "How about this-who do you like more, Grandma or Nana?"

A tricky question for a little kid, but Nancy didn't even blink.
