Auntie Nelly, where in the world is her contact. All those stupid calls yesterday made it into my recent call list and now I can't find it.

I should probably favorite her number in my phone. That would probably be a start. Then I found her number, Auntie Nell's.

I clicked the star, favoriting her in my contacts list. Then I hit call. On the fourth ring, she picked up.

"Sunshine, how are you this morning?" She asked.

"I'm fine Auntie Nell's. How's your morning?" I asked.

"Quite well aside from your cousins threatening to hurt your friends." She said.

"I wish they'd stop. I'm happy." I said.

"I know sunshine. They just...they want to keep you safe. You are all they have aside from me." She said.

"I know. I just...I feel like they haven't let me grow up. They don't want me experiencing life it feels like. It feels like I am on a leash and I am bound to have no fun in my life." I said.

"I know sunshine. I do. So Callum called me last night." She said.

"I know. I'm sorry Auntie Nell's. I just. I got lost as I danced. So I lost track of time and I didn't realize until I fell because it's been awhile that I've danced that long. Father didn't like me dancing in the house so I couldn't." I said.

"I understand sunshine. You just...you worry me sometimes. Callum cares a lot about you and I am so thankful that he is in your life. He's a keeper." She said, giggling after.

"Nelly!" I yelled embarrassed.

"I'm just saying. Look into it." She said.

"Alright. Is it alright if I stay the night again?" I asked.

"Whatcha kids planning on doing?" She asked.

"Well. Mason suggested we go to the Haunted House in town, I don't know about that. Callum suggested the fall festival or the amusement park." I said.

"Okay. Come by and get some clothes." She said.

"I will. I was going to get some new dance clothes." I said, putting her on speaker.

"Okay. So, have you heard back from the colleges?" She asked.

Callum walked in and sat down on the couch close to us. Mason walked down the stairs looking fresh. So spa day is how he looks so fresh during the week. I'm going to have to bring that up with him. Mason sat on the couch I am on and laid his head on my thigh.
