The kids are here, and it is not right to discuss these matters in front of them.

Sally was smart and deciphered Natalie’s message and hint right away. The former giggled amusingly, then nodded to tell Natalie that she got the message. After that, Sally dropped the topic.

They reached Astoria a few hours later.

Sally got off the plane and stood next to the stairs when she bade Natalie goodbye. “I’ll be leaving now, Nat,” said Sally.

Sally let go of her luggage and took a step forward with her arms open. She wanted to give Natalie a hug.

Shane turned grouchy when he saw that and pulled Natalie aside immediately.
