“DADDY!” Candy cheered.

“MAMA! PAPA!” Tange exclaimed

In an instant, the pair of girls were at the front of the stage, diving over its edge and into the arms of their fathers.

“Daddy, I’m so glad you’re here!” Candy sang. “Oh, but where are Chase and Cainan and everyone else?” she inquired, looking about the area in a vague attempt to search the missing persons out.

“Your brothers will be here, soon.” her father, Angel, promised. “You know them. When it’s a day where they don’t have to see themselves to work, it’s nearly impossible to pry them from bed. But, I had a surefire way to get them up before I left.”

The young girl chuckled as she surmised, “You made breakfast, didn’t you?"

An amused laugh escaped him as he replied, “Exactly.”
