We picked up Lucy and drove to Mr. Cluck's Chicken restaurant. Jacinda works there.

"Mom!" Lucy run towards her mother, as soon as Ivy opened the door.

"Luce." Jacinda embraces Lucy. "What are you doing here?"

I smiled. My stepsister was a hardworking mother, who just wants what's bes
t for her little girl. "I'll have the chicken sandwich and a bottle of water, please." I ordered.

"Coming right up, Ma'am." Jacinda smiled.

I placed the ticket in the tip jar and sat with my sister on the booth.

Jacinda turns and sees the ticket. "Rose…" Jacinda sighs, as she deliver our food, "I couldn't…"

I smiled at her, "Keep it and go to your daughter's recital on Friday 3pm."

"Thank you!" Jacinda hugs me, "You really are the greatest."

"I know!" I smiled. I turn to Ivy, "What?!"

"You are disobeying mother, again!" Ivy whispers, "Do you know how much trouble you could have cause?!"

"Jacinda is Lucy's mother she has every right to be there." I responded.

"Mother will…"

"I am well aware of how mother would react… but look at them…" I gesture to Jacinda and Lucy, "they're so happy, together."

"Fine!" Ivy stood up and walked towards Henry, "Here! Ticket to see Lucy's recital, and a chance to be with Jacinda."
