"So Kay, what should we do?"

"Maybe we could talk a little Riles. We haven't hung out since a few months before we moved. I think it's been almost a year since I had free time."

"Okay Kay. We can talk. I can go first if you want to."

"Okay Rileyroo go ahead and start first."

"Okay! When summer vacation was over, I had to go to school, but you didn't. But you told me I should make friends. So I did. At first they were nice, but then they didn't like tennis or volleyball and then they were mean and they left. Then I met Asher. He took me to his house and we ate chocolate chip cookies. And then he taught me some soccer. It was very fun. And now we play at recess together. But sometimes we talk instead, like this. What have you been doing?"

"Well Riley, over the summer I was here, remember? You stayed with cousin Bella and Auntie Frida. I was in LA shooting my show, KK Kirsten: The Pop Star. A little before you got here, I started doing PR. And that's what I've been doing ever since. Even though it's hard sometimes and Mother is more stressed than she was before all this, it's worth it."

Kay and Riley sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Wanna go play volleyball?"

"Okay!"
