Mom, I think that’s a bit of an understatement.” Samantha’s face immediately brightens up at the thought of pink cotton candy, and her arms go around her mother’s waist in a quick hug. “Thank you! God, you’re the absolute best, alright? Yeah, I could make something for the school, and we could make sure dad never shows up. If anyone asks any questions, we’ll just say that dad is… sick. Huh? That a good plan or what?”}
