« Melissa? Is everything alright? »
« Jason has to travel for work next week, and honestly, I don’t know how I’ll manage. The children keep asking about you. They miss their grandma. »
« Thank goodness you answered, »
My heart lifted at those words.
« They ask about me? »
« All the time, » she said. « Why don’t you come stay with us for the week while Jason’s away? Please. It would mean so much to Lily and Noah. »
I pressed a hand to my chest.
« Oh, Melissa, I would love that. Nothing would make me happier. »
If only I’d known what I was truly signing up for.
« Why don’t you come stay with us for the week while Jason’s away? »
