Chapter 270 Esme

• We get into the cars after their impromptu almost cheerleading session thanks to Indie. The kids are being looked after today by Lilah’s parents, Knox’s parents and Dan’s parents. I have to say I do not envy them. They are all together though, at the pack house and I can only imagine the sheer bedlam it must be with the mass group of kids they have! But all of them seem to love grandparent duties and I guess they have already been parents and survived, so grandkids must be easier, right?
• I am so excited for today, yet weirdly nervous. So much weighs on my mind. I should talk to Gabe really. I already know I have graduated so that is not one of my concerns. I know I have done well, and doing this means so much, and is a massive achievement for me. Something at one point in my life I never thought I would be able to do. Yet I fought for it, and got my place. I won’t lie, it has been a challenge at times, but never one I dreamt of giving up.
• And hearing Gabe’s words made me smile. Including his cheeky twist at the end, but that was just the way he was. My weirdly wonderful mate. So perfect in so many ways, and always able to make me smile, and forever having my back and being supportive.
