Infullbloom: What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t you all dare to interfere! I finally got them to come for family dinner again.
Toughtolove: Perfect! We’ll be there. Fanatstic Four, assemble.
Infullbloom: Wait, what? No, Fanny, I need my daughter-in-law to like me, not hate me more!
Willoflove: Not to worry, dear Lily, I’ll bring this special tea to put her in a better mood.
Toughtolove: Willa, I don’t suppose you have something, like say, truth serum?
Infullbloom: Agh!
CookieJ: Fanny!
Ninesunshine: Whatever for?
Toughtolove: Well, you all might believe in this half-cooked rubbish, but I promised his nana to take care of him and I plan to honor it until the end.
Jules444: I like how I never got that same special treatment. Not that I’m salty about it or anything.
Toughtolove: Child of love and peace, you had Griffin from day one. You were never lost, unlike your brother who I fear got himself in a situation he no longer controls.
CookieJ: Does anyone else get a feeling that she knows more than she’s telling us?
Ninasunshine: Yep.
Willoflove: Most certainly.
CookieJ: I’ll bring cookies to dinner.
Ninasunshine: Should I bring my bean casserole?
CookieJ: No!
Toughtolove: No!
Willoflove: No!
Jules444: No!
Burnyourheart: Dear God, mom, no! We all want to survive this dinner.
Therunawaybride: Um, since when are you invited?
Burnyourheart: Since I was the first one to say this is all a scam! But you all didn’t do anything about it and now…well, now, I can’t let you screw this up for Callum.
Joydon’tpissmeofflevine: Luke, is this the time when I remind you that you wanted me to kick you the next time you ask for Love Hive’s help?

“Everyone! The kids are here!” Lily Lovinski shouts as soon as she opens the door.
We’re here for yet another family dinner, and I’d be a filthy liar if I said I wasn’t worried and didn’t spend the whole drive here fidgeting with my knit dress.
But all my worries fly away when Clover’s mom nearly tackles me to the ground with her hug.
