I rolled over and gave Chloe a shove. We’d spent the night talking about little things, avoiding anything to do with our gifts, until we’d finally given in to our weariness. It was kind of nice having a reminder that Chloe didn’t annoy me all the time. I shuffled across my room, opened the door, and saw Dad. “Morning,” I said. “Are you coming up to say good-bye? Nanna’s taking the twins home and I think she’d like you to be there when they leave.” His expectant look suggested I didn’t really have an option. “Yeah, sure.” I suppressed the groan threatening to erupt. Saying bye to the twins and Nanna wasn’t the issue. It was the talk I knew Nanna would insist on giving me first. Every visit was the same. I gave up trying to avoid it years ago. Now I just let it go in one ear and out the other. “I saw Chloe’s car outside, did she come home with you?” “I’m here, Dad.” Chloe came up beside me. “Phoebe and I decided to have some sister time.” “Oookay.”
