Glancing at each couple, there was no way that I could say no, even if I wanted to, which I didn’t. “Absolutely,” I promised.

After a bunch of hugs, introductions, promises, and laughter, the group of sixteen went on their way, and watching them go, this was why I considered my gifts a blessing and not a curse.

The End.
