“Ind!” I call out as she passes by the open back doors. “Come sit with me.” She drops what she’s doing to come outside and take a seat across my lap. Bringing her knees up to her chest, I wrap her up, hoping to keep her warm in that little dress. “Can I help you with anything?” I whisper. She shakes her head before dropping it to my shoulder. “I’m having so much fun.” “Me too.” She looks up at me. “Yeah?” I nod. “Thank you for planning this for me.” “I’m happy that you’re happy.” “I’m happy that we’re happy.”
