Chương 261: Resource Gathering Part 1

**ADDIE'S POV**

Nolan and Briar showed up before we were all out of the group bed this morning. It shocked us all a little bit, but it really scared Mom. She had cried out in shock when Violet and Hiam came in ahead of them.

Together, Hiam and Violet took care of making the food, getting us ready for the day, and cleaning up our mess. They were so efficient and good at their jobs that it was amazing. And I was so happy that the two of them were here to be supportive of me and Nolan. I hadn't had something like this in my entire life, and I hadn't been here at home in almost a year, so I wanted it to go perfectly.

The food that Hiam made was perfect. And when I sat to eat, I was next to Nolan, which felt normal and natural for me. Also, my family was feeling less worried about him now that we had talked, so they were being a little more welcoming to him.
