Kapitel 30: Chapter 30

“Thanks for doing this for us,” Jade said to Hugo while she plopped down onto the chair next to him. “Bruce is having such a wonderful time. Having a birthday party at the park near to our house and inviting the neighborhood kids, along with Bruce’s friends from school, could have turned into a messy disaster without you dealing with all the details.”

Bruce smiled at Jade. “You’re welcome. You and Madison are like family to me.”

“Because we’re lesbians?” Jade retorted with an easy grin.

Bruce chuckled. “And also because you guys used to work for me. I miss having you two around.”

“We miss you, too.”

Bruce nodded. “Bruce is a lucky kid.”

Jade beamed at Hugo before directing her gaze toward Bruce, who were busy running around with some of his friends at the park. “He is.”

“At least he won’t have to worry about his parents rejecting him for whatever his sexuality is.”

Jade scooted her chair much closer to Hugo. “You’ll always have Madison, Bruce, and me. We’re your family now.”
