Bridget let out a sigh of relief, responding, "It's what I'm here for."

"Julian, sweetie, we say thank you when someone gives us something," Hertha said tenderly, patting his little head.

"Uh-huh," Julian nodded vigorously, turning back to the young woman standing behind him. "Emmeline, thank you for the candy."

"Thanks, Emmeline. I love you so much," Helena chimed in playfully, smiling at the young woman. Her pockets were stuffed with candies, all from Emmeline.
