Emmeline tugged at her little hand, but Abel had a death grip on it and wouldn’t let go. It was starting to hurt, and she winced, “Abel, ease up! You’re going to bruise me!”

Abel finally loosened his grip a bit, but Emmeline still couldn’t free her hand. She huffed in frustration and gave up, resigning herself to being held captive.

Without missing a beat, Abel wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close, enclosing her in a tight embrace.

“It’s so good to have Emma back,” Ethan chimed in, trying to diffuse the tension. “Let’s celebrate with lunch today. My treat, everyone’s invited.”

“I’m in,” Abel spoke up first. “Ethan’s right, it makes sense. Count me in.”

Benjamin and Janie exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves,

What’s Ethan meddling in now? Everything was going fine.

But could they really argue with his proposal now?

“Mr. Benjamin, Janie,” Ethan turned to them. “Do you think it’s a bad idea?”

Benjamin reluctantly nodded, “It’s fine, I agree.”

Janie raised her hand, “I’m in too.”

“I knew it,” Ethan grinned. “Emma’s back and it’s definitely worth celebrating!”
