Brooke

I gave them your squash.

Brooke

I love them. They’re so sweet.

Brooke

Hope therapy went okay.

Sorry, I’m just seeing this now. I took the kids to a movie after our appointment.

I actually don’t know how it went. We started chatting with the three of us, and then she asked to talk to the kids alone. Nobody cried. Lulu said she played with the train set.

Brooke

That’s good, I guess…?

Yeah. I guess.

I feel like I’m grasping at straws here.

And I’m looking at the report from this morning now. I don’t know what my parents did, but they didn’t put in any of the sales.

Brooke

I’m pretty sure at one point, they started taking cash and giving out freebies with every sale.

Great.

Days later…

This is stupid.

I’m going to drop the kids off with my parents and come over.

I want to see you.

Brooke

I’m not even home.

Brooke

I’m in Philly helping Sabrina and Everett move in to their house.

Brooke

She texted me this morning that they needed help.

Brooke

But even if I were home, what would you tell Seb?

That I miss you. That’s what I would tell him.

Brooke
