Chapter 70 -A Better Norm

• “Miss Esme!” The chorus of the two kids calling my name is a feeling nothing else in the world can compare to. They run into the apartment, both wanting to give me a hug. Their giggles and smiles are powerful, making me want to melt into a happy puddle.
• “Girls!” I cheerily call back, squatting down to give them both big hugs.
• Even though I was just with them earlier this afternoon, the hugs and their presence are needed. I’m so happy to see their little faces in my apartment again.
