“My daughter June arranged all this for me as a surprise today, which is my birthday,” April said. “And I’d love for you to meet my other daughter, May, who is traveling right now. She’s eager to meet you all as well.”
Ivy stepped back to watch family members greet April and June. She looked at Bennett, who was making his way to her.
When he reached her side, he put his arm around her. “Once again, you’ve surprised me with the way you handled this situation.”
“It wasn’t easy at first,” she said. “There was a lot to sort out. If Mom and Aunt Maya hadn’t been here, we couldn’t have really confirmed our mutual history. But look at everyone now. They’re all fascinated with this new connection.”
“The reunion has been a success, too. I know how much you wanted to do this for your parents.”
