“Can Savvy come with us?” Drake asked.
Hollie smiled at Savvy and said, “We thought that we would just have a grandparents and grandkids day. That way, we could spoil you more.”
Drake looked at Savvy doubtfully.
“You guys will have loads of fun without me,” she said. “I have some business I have to take care of, anyway.”
“Okay.” Drake sighed.
“You know that the pack gala is in two days, right?” Hollie asked.
Rory groaned and said, “Don’t remind me.”
“It’s not that bad. Sebastian is going,” Owen said. “You really need to as well.”
“Can we go?” Cat asked.
“No, you aren’t quite old enough yet,” Rory said. “You need to stay here with Amy, Rosa, and Colby.”
“Why can’t they go? They’re old enough,” Drake said.
Amy laughed and said, “We’re bear shifters. We go to our clan’s gala.”
“Can we go to that?” Cat asked.
“Afraid not, kiddo,” Rosa said. “You have to be a bear shifter.”
“Rats,” Drake said, crossing his arms and sticking out his bottom lip.
“We’ll have a ton of fun here,” Amy promised.
“Go get your stuff,” Hollie said.
Savvy went upstairs to help the kids grab their stuffies that they took with them everywhere and packed them an extra set of clothes in case they were needed.
“They are ready,” she said, with a smile.
Hollie hugged her impulsively. “You are so great with the kids. It really tells because they love you so much.”
“It’s because they know I love them,” Savvy said. “What’s not to love?”
Cat made a heart with her hands and put it under her chin. She batted her eyelashes and said, “Yeah, what’s not to love.”
Laughing, Hollie, Owen, and the kids left.
Savvy decided to spend the day with Beth and Taryn, so she went upstairs to grab her purse and then said goodbye to everyone. Rory stopped her as she was heading out the door.
“It seems that I have to go to this damned gala. Do you want to go with me to keep me company in my misery?”
“It’s not that bad, is it?” Savvy asked.
“I guess that depends on who you ask.”
Savvy smiled and said, “I would love to go with you.”
“The theme this year is fantasy under the sea if that matters to you.”
“That just means that there will be a lot of light blue and sea green dresses. Neither color is flattering to me, so I’ll pick a different colored dress.”
