Wyatt's POV
Everyone has their chairs in a semicircle in the backyard, facing Hiral who stands in the centre.
"Okay, thank you all for attending! To begin our Groundhog Day, we have Groundhog Day charades! I've divided you into three teams: the Driscolls, the Mack and Amber, and the Kippens and Becks."
"What team are you on?" I ask her.
"I'm the moderator," she replies. "I don't have a team."
"Aw poop," I huff. "I thought I'd have an advantage."
"You don't need me on your team," she says. "You'll do great. Also, you're up first."
She comes over and grabs my hands, pulling me out of my lawn chair and into the circle.
"Choose something related to spring and Groundhog day, and start acting it out," she instructs.
She steps off to the side to watch, and I think of the first thing that comes into my head. With the objective in mind, I stand up straight, planting my feet sturdy on the grass, then extend one hand making a shape with my fingers like a gun. It doesn't even take a full second for my sister to recognize the stance and shout the answer.
"Terminator!"
"Yes!" I cheer.
"Wyatt!" Hiral shouts. "That's not spring-related! Start again!"
I sigh and think of something else.
TJ's POV
Wyatt sticks his arms out at an angle downward then points to one of the firs in the yard.
"Tree!" Cara shouts.
"Yup."
"Perfect," Hiral says with a smile. "Bex is up next."
Bex swaps spots with Wyatt, and Wyatt takes his seat beside where Hiral stands. While Bex sarts acting out her object, my mind is still mulling over my earlier concern, and I find myself looking over at where Jayda and Andreas are sitting, my daughter playing subconsciously with Andreas's fingers.
Noticing my stare, TJ leans over and asks, "What's on your mind?"
"How are we not as cute as them?" I whisper.
"We are," TJ insists.
"We definitely are," I try to agree, but another glance at my daughter's romance makes me question it again. "But when did we lose that pure, young-spirited silliness that they have?"
"Don't listen to Jayda," TJ tells me. "She doesn't know us the way we know us. She's our daughter. Of course she's not gonna think we're cute. We purposely don't be like that"—he nods in her direction—"because that would be weird."
"Yeah," I mumble.
"Yeah?" he checks, seeing my uncertainty.
"Yeah," I say again, sounding no more certain than before."
"Daisy!" Walker chirps.
"Wonderful!" Hiral cheers. "Switch! Cara, you're up."
Andi's POV
Mom plops down back into her chair next to mine, and Cara takes the spotlight.
"So I've been thinking about the boat," I start, looking over at my mom.
She replies with a smile, "So have I."
"You know, since you're older, and you've basically lived your life, it only makes sense that I get the boat, since I have a daughter and more opportunities to make the most of it."
