My phone buzzes as I slip the cinnamon rolls into the oven as the parade plays on tv keeping Joely occupied. After last nights events I just came home and laid in bed with her.
It made me realize the sole thing I have to protect in this life isn't just my daughter. But even myself, I let things go so loosely. But I need a watchful eye, I need to ensure safety and a future.
Though the thought of me ever leaving her haunts my thoughts. I had a will made years ago for Joely, who she'd be entrusted to and all of my assets "mummy! Snoopy!" The snoopy float must've been on screen, it was her favorite
"Is he on tv!" I walked over to see her bouncing up and down at the sight of him. My little girl was almost three and it ate me up inside.
My phone buzzed again and this time I lifted it from my pocket to check who's spamming me
???: That dinner is still owed?
Hope: If this is who I think it is, let me remind you that it is thanksgiving?
???: I want to take you out this holiday weekend, I have a plan
Hope: Before I commit to anything... this is Reed right?
Reed: No it's Wayne Gretzky
Hope: More of a bruins fan tbh
Reed: Unfortunately growing up in Oregon we didn't have our own team
Hope: Poor little Reese, how's Saturday?
Reed: 8 o'clock work?
Hope: see you then, Happy Thanksgiving

Arabella: Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy Vermont!
The pit in my stomach increased, I never lied to my best friend. Not about anything, but right now I was. Even when I found out about Joely, I was so scared. I didn't quite know what to do about Law School. But she didn't care, she was more excited if anything
Hope: We'll be at your apartment by 6
Arabella: 😏 my suspicions were right, you are avoiding me!
Hope: False, I'm avoiding Grayson's Bill Belichick impression after he's downed 4 glasses of wine!
Arabella: Enjoy Charlie and the parade... and your cinnamon buns
