Bye, grandpa! Jennie chimed in, following Sabrina out with a cheerful wave.
How has your stay been at your grandfathers? Sabrina inquired as they strolled along.

With a wry smile, Sabrina replied, Yes, shes alive. She remarried when I was quite young, and weve never seen eye to eye. Its easier to act as if she doesnt exist.
Oh. Pondering for a moment, Jennie ventured, So, shes somewhat like Keilani?
Exactly.
