“Sorry, Cel. I have to leave town tomorrow for something, so I won’t be able to go with you to pick out a birthday gift for your grandma.”

Hearing the mention of the Locket family, Celeste’s smile faded slightly. “Alright, I got it.”

“As for Wynn’s mother’s side of the family, I heard they’ve already picked out a house. They’ll be moving in soon. Supposedly, they’ve even started sending out invitations for a housewarming banquet.”

“Alright, I got it.”
