Chapter 53

• When we got home, we worked out the rest of the details. We decided to leave on Wednesday, giving us plenty of time to finish up projects and pack. I talked the girls into going; Nadine was thrilled as she hadn't been in big mountain country before, and Natalie was excited to meet other kids. Melanie was reluctant, but she didn't want to be left home either. Olivia needed a diversion, and this trip would be that.
• Moe and Theresa were going to ride with all of us. Michael, Linda, Luke and Katy were going to trail us in the SUV. The unmated boys were going to stay behind and keep security going for everyone else. They were mad, but I told them there would be more trips, and they already knew their mates weren't back home.
• All of our luggage had been loaded by the boys when Olivia, Melanie and I walked out of the house. We all gave Marge and Margo hugs, they were staying home to watch over the Green boys, and walked onto the RV. I had made it up the stairs and was turning towards the living room when I ran into the back of Olivia, who was frozen in place. "Olivia?" She didn't move. "What's wrong?" I moved a little to the side and saw she was staring at Mark, who was sitting in a recliner looking at his iPad.
