Re: 5:43 Alex Knight
"I'll do you one better and make you the gatekeeper," Cassie said. "You can decide what gets placed out for everyone to eat and what you are placing back in the fridge to take home."
She appreciated having Alex then. Cassie had never felt like she was in such an uncomfortable position with her family. While she would not wish that feeling on Alex ever, she was at least glad that neither of them were alone. They had each other. They would back up each other. They would get through this.
Cassie nodded and smiled. "It is finally our time." She squeezed her sister's hand one last time before she took Maddie back to the livingroom.
