“Haha!” Mrs. Berry laughed. “From now on, I’ll be cooking for you guys. Make sure to eat well, alright?”

“Of course! I’ll eat everything up,” Ellie declared, clapping her hands excitedly.

Robbie and Jamie stuck their hands up in the air.

Fifi, who had been lying in Ellie’s arms the whole time, looked up blearily and squawked, “Me too!”

Hearing this, Charlotte turned to Zachary and gave him a sharp pinch on his arm. “You gave Fifi wine again?”

“She wanted to drink some herself,” Zachary replied, looking very wronged.

“Yeah! You have me as a witness—Fifi wanted to drink it herself,” Jamie said, standing up for Zachary immediately.
