She pulled away soon, too soon. She was looking all around the room. At me, at Chay, at her family, at my friends, at the kids. The look on her face was one of love and gratitude.
"Thank you, all of you. You're all so sweet to me. You've all been so nice and helped me so much. I don't think I could ask for a better group of people to be around. You all helped me get out of a bad place and have helped me to overcome it all as well. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without you, and I hope we can all stay close so we can continue to help each other."
My mate didn't know how happy she had just made me and the others as she smiled at us all.
"We love you Star." Dalton and Cohen both said at the same time as they ran to her, hugging her around the waist.
After a few minutes my cousins all went to the center of the room. They were all excited as they beamed at us.
"Ok, ok, it's time for the next part of the birthday party." Sydney got everyone's attention.
