Chapter 342

“Thanks for inviting me over for cookie day!”

“Thanks for coming,” Meredith opened her front door, ushering Bianca inside.

Once she stepped in, Bianca could hear the noise from the kitchen. Between the adults and the children, it sounded like they were having a great time. “Sounds like a party.”

Meredith shook her head, a rueful grin on her face. “We have some margaritas, because we’re all gonna need it when this is all over. We’re just drinking slowly.”

Bianca laughed. Unlike the rest of them, she worked with kids all day; granted her students were older, but every once in a while, they could still get on her nerves.

“Hey!” She yelled to the group of women and children that had gathered. There were a ton of hellos shouted back, including a few “Aunt B’s!” that made her heart clench. She loved these kids with everything she had. “Who wants me to help them?” Again lots of screams as she gratefully accepted a margarita and sat down at the kitchen table.
