Chloe took a deep breath before answering.

Ava immediately recognized his shaky handwriting.

« For the girls. With love. »

Her eyes filled with tears.

—I… just wanted to help.

Chloe squeezed her hands tighter.

—And you did it.

There was a brief silence.

Then Avery looked towards the SUVs parked on the street.

—But we didn’t come just to thank you.

Ava wiped away her tears.
