Cass
Julia has the princesses
She adds a heart-eyes emoji.

I can’t help teasing.
As much as I love my only niece, Alex’s daughter is a handful. Cass is the first person she’s ever allowed to tell her what to do besides our mom, and I’m pretty sure Mom bribes her with chocolate and ice cream and fingernail polish and whatever works.
Starting a new thread outside the group, I message Piper,
You didn’t tell me your mom is Rosie McClure.
Piper

She adds a sly-smile emoji.
Piper

I missed a lot in 24 hours.
Piper
Eureka is a busy little town. I keep saying that.
You and my mom.

When will you be home? I miss you.
Piper
In time to see my little Jedi and Tony Hawk and kiss my favorite surfer dude.
Hold off on kissing. I’ve got ten pounds of candy to give away.
