Chapter 0492
Hannah
Amber’s big move weighed on me for days. I was happy for her, genuinely. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t going to miss her like hell. And with her going away party coming up, I wanted to do something special before she left.
I thought about finding her a small going–away gift, just a little something to remind her of us. When I told Noah my idea, he grinned, grabbed his coat, and said he was in. It was Sunday, and neither of us was working. Besides–we needed a family day.
Which, of course, meant that Melody had to come too dressed her in a cute little pink sweater set, and we set her up in her stroller once we arrived at the mall. She wiggled her arms, babbling to herself and us and everyone we passed as we made our rounds.
“She’s gonna be a yapper like her mother when she grows up,” Noah mused with a mock sigh, which earned him a well–deserved smack from me.
“Actually, I think she gets her overactive nature from you,” I teased, poking his side. “Don’t act like you weren’t a bit of a wild child when we first met. Always outside, running to the beach or the woods or climbing on some roof that you didn’t belong on.”
He laughed, shrugging. “Guilty as charged. Maybe she gets it from both of us, then.”
We wandered down the mall’s winding corridors, stopping to look at window displays and stepping into different shops here and there. It was a particularly busy day, and we got stopped more than once by pack members who wanted to chat.
Melody, of course, wiggled her fingers at everyone who talked to us, her charm in full effect as she flashed them her best toothless grins. We couldn’t help but laugh every time someone waved back, their faces lighting up with smiles.
