Julien beamed from ear to ear. "Hi, Aunt Mandy, Madam Lyla and Madam Colene. Hey, Taty."

"Where are you going, Jul?" Tatiana's eyes were wide with curiosity.

"Yay! We get to have desserts, thanks to Jonah." Tatiana clapped her hands in joy.

"What did you say, Mandy?" Lyla looked at Mandy with a confused look on her face. She didn't catch Mandy's comment.
