The following day, Shelby kept her promise to Samantha and took all the kids out. This time, they had to take a bigger car that could accommodate them all, including Suzie and Murray, with Albert as their driver. They had one single agenda: to get the appropriate wardrobe for the kids. If having a good time was counted as another agenda, then that would have been their second focus.
Just before they boarded the car, Ingrid said something to Samantha that made the older girl burst out in anger, only to curb it. Shelby stared in amusement as Samantha counted backwards from ten to one until her mood stabilized.
Shelby pretended not to have seen the exchange, but she had lip-read Ingrid.
"It's about time you stopped being childish and came around!"
