Tammy was afraid that Avery would misunderstand, and she immediately added, "Avery, if he doesn't want to come, that's up to him, but you have to come! You're my best friend. If you’re not coming, I won't get married."
Avery said, "I'll attend your wedding."
Tammy let out a sigh of relief. "That's awesome! I heard you injured your leg. How is it? I had always thought of contacting you, but Elliot was still in bad shape then, and I was afraid that you would be in a bad mood. So, I didn't contact you."
"My leg is much better."
"That's good to hear. Let's go shopping tomorrow!" "It did not heal very well." Avery looked at the injury on her leg. It was no longer wrapped in bandages, and the scar looked bad.
Thankfully, she had bought quite a few long skirts in the past. So, she could easily hide the scar.
"Then I'll come to visit you tomorrow. Don’t worry. I won’t ask you anything regarding Elliot," Tammy promised.
"Hmm."
The next morning, before the two children headed for kindergarten, Tammy arrived. Not only did she bring a big bag of fruits, snacks, toys, and new clothes, but she also bought a huge bag of breakfast.
Avery was stunned.
"Tammy, you didn't have to. Layla told me that during the time I wasn't around, you came and played with them every single day, and you even bought them new toys and snacks for them- daily..."
"It's my duty!" Tammy passed the bag of breakfast to Avery before lifting up Avery's skirt. "My goodness! What a huge wound!"
Avery said, "It doesn't hurt that much anymore."
"What on earth! This is the first time I'm seeing a relationship turn out this way." Tammy did not say much apart from that one comment. She took the bag of toys and clothes to the children.
"Are you two heading to school?"
"Aunt Tammy, I really hope you get married today. That way, I don't have to go to school." Layla was carrying her bag. She was rather reluctant to go to school.
"Babe, why don't you want to go to school?"
"Because I want to play with Mommy at home," Layla answered honestly.
