“Molly, Molly, he came, he came!”   Drew groaned and tried to pull the covers over his head.  “Is it daylight yet?”   Molly chuckled.  “It’s actually almost seven o’clock.  They let us sleep.”  She got up and stretched.  “Come on, don’t you want to see what Santa brought?”   Lily and Zoey were waiting …

“You do realize that this house is going to be insane tonight, right?” Molly said, grinning, as they climbed out of the Range Rover.  The Barrett household was ablaze with lights and the shouts of children could be heard even in the driveway.   At least they are happy shouts,  Schrodinger pointed out.  And besides, …

Zoey, Zoey, look what I found!   Zoey looked up from the book she was only half-reading when she heard Schrodinger call. Corrine had given her, Lily and Jack a choice that morning: they could stay at the Barretts’ house and play, or they could go to the bookstore and hang out with Molly. As …

“So that was the last one, and they’re all delivered,” Drew said, dropping the order forms on the island. “Sarah said to tell you that you are amazing.”   Molly smiled up at him. “She says that every year.”   “That’s because you do something amazing with gingerbread every year,” Drew replied, kissing the tip …
