"Bye bye," Lucille waved goodbye for the nth time to Dana and Ellise. 

Noah had been urging her to go up the plane for they had to go but Lucille was having a difficult time listening to his order and kept on saying goodbye. 

"Darling, we can always visit them or they can always visit us. Please, now," he said, pushing her gently to take the steps already. 

Lucille lowered her hand and with much difficulty climbed the stairs. 

Noah nodded to Soraya to hurry Lucille up because he felt she would say another round of goodbye between the short steps to the door. 

"Ready to go? Or are you going to be like Lucille with your goodbyes?" He whispered as he kissed Jess's temple. 

Jess slapped his flat stomach when she heard the teasing in his voice. 

"Don't start with me," she said with a pout.
