Around lunch time, Brenna and Slaton showed up at the house with a small pack following them. They walked in with their arms around each other to the smell of chicken frying. Grey stood up from the chair in the living room where he was watching the news. He had a grin that spread from ear to ear.

“There you two are. Welcome home.” He slapped Slaton on the back and kissed Brenna on the cheek. “Your mom’s in the kitchen getting lunch together.”

Slaton led Brenna into the active kitchen where Tahnee was at the stove monitoring the meal. She had heard them come in but let Grey have a moment with them before she had hers. Turning from the stove, she smiled with satisfaction. There they were finally as a happy couple. Tears started to pool up in her eyes.

Tahnee moved forward with her hands outstretched and kissed each of them. “I’m so glad you’re back. Making chicken to celebrate.”

“Can I help?” Brenna offered.
