Letting go of Maby, she pulled Harper in for a hug as well. “You have a room too.”
“Do I get a room, Mom?” Agatha asked from the couch.
“Of course. Next to Violet’s. She’ll like that.”
Lucy realized everyone was getting something and needed it also. “Wait, I want to room.”
“You can share with Maby again. The twins will be back in the same room, except no boys this time.” Sera hugged the other twin as she said it.
“I get the house! You can move over there if you want, which will leave me here, and the house can be mine.” Buzz laughed. Even though she hated it empty, she really liked to win.
“If she’s staying, so am I.” Agatha changed sides.
“Me too. Even if I haven’t been here this week, I still live here,” Lucy jumped in quickly.
“Can I have a room?” Louisa asked from the corner where she’d been watching.
All eyes turned to her, especially those that didn’t know who she was. Sera walked over to her slowly, looking her up and down. In the red sweatshirt, she looked more like Harper than Buzz remembered, just younger and more innocent than Harper ever looked.
“And you are?”
“Louisa Raiden, ma’am. I am a friend of Buzz’s.”
Sera looked back at Buzz with a questioning look, then turned back to the girl and gave her as big of a hug as she had given all her kids. “Of course, Louisa. This is the Lovely house. Everyone is welcome here.”
“Thank you, ma’am.” Buzz could hear the tears in the girl’s voice. Once again, Sera was a mother to a girl she didn’t have to be, just like she had been to all of them over the years.
“But if you ever call me ma’am again, you’re out. It’s Sera Dean.” Sera actually hugged Louisa again in her excitement of being married.
“Thank you, Sera.”
Buzz was nearly in tears as she watched. She wondered if Sera could tell Louisa was a sister, that she had another lost soul to save. Only this time, Louisa wasn’t a child, and she knew who her parents were and had been with them her entire life. So different from the rest of them.
Catching Harper’s eyes across the room, she saw the same look in her eyes.
