Chloe's Mom

This is post 5 of Section III. To begin at the beginning, go here. Section II begins here. Section III begins here.

But you don’t need to say another word. We can go into all that when you get here. If you’re up to it, I mean. If you want to. . . . The point is, of course, we’ll pick you up. You’re always welcome here, Chloe, and so is Elizabeth.”
“Thanks, Mom,” Chloe said, crying now. “It’s so good to hear you say that. I love you so much.”
“Love you too.”
