Greg could do nothing as McKenzie carried him out of Madison’s room.
The hallway felt quieter the moment they stepped into it, but not peaceful. The tension from what had just happened didn’t disappear so much as follow behind them, lingering in the back of his mind like something unresolved. He didn’t look back, and neither did she. There was nothing either of them could say to fix what had just been said, and both of them seemed to understand that in their own way.
McKenzie moved quickly down the hall, grabbing her bag where she had dropped it earlier without breaking stride. She pushed open her bedroom door with her shoulder and stepped inside, letting it close behind her with a softer, more controlled motion than the one that had ended things in Madison’s room.
Her room felt different immediately.
It was still clearly hers, but it lacked the deliberate structure Madison imposed on everything. Things were where she left them, not where they were meant to be. It felt lived in instead of arranged, comfortable instead of controlled. Greg noticed it right away, even as the shift in scale settled again with each step she took.
She crossed to her desk and set him down carefully near the edge, adjusting her hand just enough to make sure he was steady before pulling her chair out and sitting. The chair creaked slightly under her weight as she leaned back, exhaling in a long breath she had clearly been holding in since she walked into Madison’s room.
For a moment, she said nothing.
She just sat there, staring off toward the far wall, jaw tight, processing.
Then she shook her head.
“She always has to ruin everything.”
Her voice wasn’t sharp, not like it had been before. It carried more frustration than anger now, the kind that came from something familiar rather than surprising.
“I just wanted some time with you,” she continued, finally looking down at him. “That’s it. Just… normal time. And she has to turn it into something.”
Greg didn’t answer right away. He could hear what she wasn’t saying just as clearly as what she was.
“She’s with her favorite daughter,” McKenzie added, a faint edge creeping back into her tone despite herself. “She doesn’t need anything from me.”
That one sat heavier.
Greg shifted slightly where he stood on the desk, choosing his words carefully. There were a hundred ways to respond to that, and most of them would make things worse.
Before he could say anything, McKenzie leaned forward, resting her arms on the desk, bringing herself closer to him.
“I was serious, though,” she said, her tone changing completely. More grounded. More certain. “I know things are busy right now. School, practice, everything… it’s a lot, and I don’t have some big plan figured out yet.”
She paused for a moment, like she was trying to organize the thought as she spoke it.
“But I know what I want.”
Greg met her eyes.
“I want you with me, Dad,” she said. “I want to take care of you. I want to make sure you’re safe, that you’re actually… okay. Not just handled.”
There was a difference in how she said it. A deliberate one.
Greg felt something tighten in his chest at that, something deeper than the fear or uncertainty that had been sitting there most of the day.
“I want that too, sweetheart,” he said gently. “I really do.”
And he meant it.
“I love you. And I love Madison.” He let that sit for a second, making sure it was heard. “You’re both the best things I’ve ever done. You’re my life’s greatest work.”
McKenzie’s expression softened slightly at that, even if she didn’t say anything right away.
“I want to live with you too,” Greg continued, more carefully now. “I just… don’t want Madison to get hurt in the process. She’s still my little girl.”
McKenzie leaned back in her chair, her expression shifting again as she thought about that.
“She’ll be fine,” she said after a moment.
Greg didn’t respond immediately.
She noticed.
“She will,” she repeated, more firmly this time. “She always is.”
Greg shook his head slightly.
“She’s not as unaffected as she looks,” he said. “You know that.”
McKenzie let out a quiet breath through her nose, glancing off to the side before looking back at him.
“I’m not saying she doesn’t feel things,” she said. “I’m saying that doesn’t mean she gets everything she wants.”
There was no edge in it this time. Just a statement.
Greg let that sit.
It wasn’t wrong.
But it also wasn’t simple.
“I’m not trying to take you away from her,” McKenzie added, her voice softening again. “I’m just not giving her everything.”
Greg nodded slightly.
“That’s fair,” he said.
And it was. Even if it didn’t make the situation any easier to navigate.
McKenzie studied him for a moment.
“You’re still worried about her.”
“Of course I am,” Greg said without hesitation. “She’s my daughter.”
There was no conflict in that answer. No hesitation. Just truth.
McKenzie nodded slowly.
“I know.”
She reached out then, resting her hand lightly on the desk near him. Not picking him up, not directing him. Just placing it there, within reach if he wanted it.
Greg noticed that too.
Everything about how she handled him was different.
Less assumed.
More offered.
“She’s still trying to figure out where she fits in all of this,” Greg said quietly. “And I don’t want her to feel like she’s losing something.”
McKenzie’s expression shifted slightly at that.
“She’s not losing you,” she said.
Greg didn’t answer right away.
Because that wasn’t entirely true.
And they both knew it.
McKenzie saw it in his face, even if he didn’t say it.
“I’m not asking you to choose,” she said.
Greg let out a quiet breath.
“I know.”
But that didn’t change what this was becoming.
Even if neither of them wanted to say it out loud.
While the practicality of everything still needed to be figured out, Greg couldn’t help the feeling that settled in his chest.
It wasn’t relief.
Not entirely.
There were still too many loose ends. Too many realities that didn’t resolve cleanly. Madison. Cindy. The way everything would have to be balanced, negotiated, or inevitably broken in some way.
But beneath all of that, there was something else.
Something simpler.
He felt… happy.
Genuinely happy.
The thought of living with McKenzie, of being under her care, of existing in a space that felt more grounded, more stable, more him, it stirred something in him he hadn’t felt in a long time. Even if the consequences of that choice hadn’t fully surfaced yet, even if he knew they would, the feeling was still there.
And he couldn’t ignore it.
Above him, McKenzie’s presence filled the space in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming.
It felt steady.
Her hand moved into view, her finger lowering gently toward him, careful in a way that had already become second nature. She gave him a few light, absent minded pets, the motion slow and deliberate, more grounding than controlling.
Greg stepped forward instinctively, wrapping his arms around her finger.
It wasn’t the same.
It would never be the same.
He missed the weight of a real hug. The familiarity of it. The ability to pull her close, to press a kiss against the top of her head the way he used to when she was younger.
That version of the world was gone.
But this…
This was enough.
It felt right in a way that didn’t require explanation.
McKenzie watched him for a second, something soft passing across her expression before she let her hand settle back slightly, giving him space again.
Then she exhaled, shifting back into something more practical.
“So,” she said, her tone changing just enough to signal she was moving forward, “I talked with Madison about this on the way to school before I came back.”
Greg looked up at her, listening.
“I’m going to have you stay in here from now on,” she continued, gesturing lightly around her room. “This’ll be your main spot. After school, you’re still with Madison. When she gets home, she’ll come get you from here, and you’ll spend time with her and Mom. But I want you in here with me at night when i get home and in the mornings and stuff.”
She said it like a plan already in motion, something she had thought through on the drive back, even if she hadn’t figured out every detail.
“Madison will probably have you help out with things,” McKenzie added. “Chores, homework, whatever she’s got going on. You know how she is. She’s still your co-guardian.”
Greg gave a small nod.
He did.
“But this way,” she continued, “you’re not bouncing back and forth all the time. You’ve got a place that’s yours, and things are a little more… consistent.”
She paused slightly, watching his reaction.
“Madison said you were having trouble with that,” she added. “The switching. I figured this might help.”
Greg let that sit for a moment.
It wasn’t lost on him that this wasn’t just McKenzie deciding something on her own.
This was negotiated.
Balanced.
“She wanted you full-time,” McKenzie said, a faint, knowing edge slipping into her voice. “Which, yeah, that wasn’t happening.”
Greg couldn’t help the small exhale that left him at that.
“But we’re trying this,” she went on. “And it only works if you actually listen to her when you’re with her.”
There was no threat in how she said it.
Just reality.
“Because if this doesn’t work,” she added, “we’re going to have to revisit it. And her version of this looks very different.”
Greg understood exactly what that meant.
Full-time with Madison.
No balance.
No separation.
McKenzie leaned back slightly in her chair, her expression settling into something more neutral again.
“I like having you here,” she said, more quietly. “I want you here.”
Then, after a brief pause, she added:
“But Madison and I are co-guardians on this.”
The word carried weight.
“Which means we both get a say,” she continued. “You and Mom.”
There was the smallest shift in her tone at that.
Subtle.
But unmistakable.
“I’m handling you,” she said. “She’s handling Mom.”
The separation was clean.
Intentional.
“She can stay with Madison,” McKenzie finished, her voice flattening just slightly. “That’s… what makes sense.”
Greg watched her carefully.
He could hear what wasn’t being said just as clearly as what was.
McKenzie wasn’t angry anymore.
She wasn’t even arguing.
She had just… decided.
And for the first time since this all started, that might have been the most final thing of all.
And that’s how the family gets split up…. Although more Greg and
McKenzie time would be good
It’s not quite that dire. Madison is more annoyed than anything but that’s the part I’m currently writing.
Plus it’s still years away lots can happens once they graduate something was always going to have to be done. As they can’t live together forever. They will want there own families and lives
Passions are running high 🙂 You’re spinning the story well. I wonder how the future children of the two sisters will perceive Greg and Cindy? 🙂 As family pets? Will they be told that their grandparents have died?
Damn what a heavy episode. If nothing else I hope Greg gets to go with Kenzie, he feels happier there.
Well McKenzie is the more responsible one. But she is also older. In time Madison could mature as well but Madison does have a different structure to things then McKenzie
feeling it for Cindy. She’s basically going to be alone a lot of the time. I hope Greg can talk to Kenzie about visitation without it getting misinterpreted.
Actually while i was typing this i just felt awful for greg cause he’s in the middle of all three of them lol he’s like the linchpin of the family at this point.
Yeah Greg being put in tough as spot and Cindy clearly isn’t going to make mentally by herself she literally said she was able to handle this with Greg around but now that there being separated more I can see Cindy just breaking
Either way what a rough situation
A) I think you’re right about Greg being the family linchpin pin, but it sounds like he always kept the family together whether he was big our small because he was the only parent that was giving the girls his undivided attention when it came to there outside activities and would talk to them about their day not his.
B) Cindy seems all about Cindy and never took time away from her anti little campaign to spend not any quality time with her own daughters just not a lot without having to control and talk down to everyone.
C) I’m not sure who in Cindy’s life molded her to be evil but I always feel bad for the kid inside a person.
D) It’s know wonder the girls are fighting for time with their little dad, they have more fun memories with him in his big person time and now that he is small they both want to take care of him and make new memories .
Well he woudl still see cindy. Madison still cares for htem when seh gets home from school and he would still presumbly do things. He can video chat to cindy as well habitat to habtiat communication. He also could get dropped of with cindy in the morning before mckenzie left if he wanted.
She isnt forcibly making it so he can never see madison or cindy again. he is just residing in her room at the end of each day. Her habitat is “home” so to speak but he can still be other places.
Are those video chats private? I would assume not, so that would be awkward.
Him getting dropped off is more likely than the reverse (Cindy going to him).
well its private in that they both have video chat devices and they are communicating over hte little net. Technically speaking madison or mckenzie could probably pull the chat just like an employer could pull your calls or and video chats at work. But the odds are tehy wouldnt without a reason.
I figured Madison would simply be nosy enough to want to know what they were talking about. 😁
Especially since she is trying to get in good with Greg.
Ok breakdowns
1) they both need to be present when telling him this so Madison doesn’t manipulate McKenzies words (like she’s never done that)
2) McKenzie needs to tell Madison that she has instructed Greg to tell her everything leave nothing out
3) Madison will change her tactics to try keep her dad with her
4) Greg needs to tell McKenzie what happened earlier about him trying to find her and lying to madsion about cleaning her shoes
5) I feel like the family is 8 months into this and it’s like they’re still on page one! Madsion is still bratty and manipulating but that’s her age, Greg is still playing both sides, McKenzie is all over the place with madsion and Greg and how she wants nothing to do with Cindy, Cindy she still hasn’t learned one thing!!
1 Madison would never lol.
2 she didnt actually say that but one coudl presume with more access to Mckenzie madison would need to be more watchful in what she says and does.
3 most certainly
4 im not sure what he would gain by doing that. whats done is done at this point. he sitll sees madison daily and alot. so its not like he is free of her or anything.
5) it hasn tbeen that long. its still the same school year.
I find it weird that Mackenzie is totally okay splitting her parents up as if she was just rehoming a dog who was attached to another dog. I think it shows either that she does not care about their relationship to each other, or she ultimately still views them as lesser than and is really just a softer version of her mom.
Also, Greg is coming across as very spineless in this. I get it, he is ultimately powerless. But Cindy is still his wife. He should be more willing to put his own comfort on the line for her. I think it would help her cope with all of this much better if he would stick up for her more, even if all it does results in is them both being punished. At least they would be in it together. The way he is okay just letting her wallow in misery because he is in a gilded cage, when he also was complicit in her spreading her shitty views and teaching Madison those views and also in “other parent”-ing Mackenzie shows how he will always just fall in line as long as it makes him comfortable.
Dude was totally fine with all the things Cindy did and advocated for when it brought in money, but as soon as they shrank, all of a sudden he is Mr. “You get what you sow?” What a coward.
I hope Cindy and Mads can get into a comfy routine and they can get the tiny divorce over with, because dude doesn’t really seem to care about Cindy at all as long as he gets to be the prized pet.
Cindy can go fuck herslef! If Greg was the one who just shrank Cindy wouldn’t have changed her teachings she wouldn’t probably have touched him at all! Yes she does get what she sows
And if neither of them shrank, Greg would’ve been totally fine with Madison treating another tiny the same way. Dude was totally fine being the nice parent and benefitting from her shitty views. He is complicit as well. He just follows whoever is in power. He is spineless and a shitty husband.
I also want to add that Cindy is absolutely getting her just desserts. But, why was he married to her? Does he still love her? He doesn’t really act like it at all.
Greg didn’t wasnt pro or anti little to be fair. It just didnt affect him. Similar to how a person can be not for or against politics or LGBTQ rights or any number of issues. Maybe its parking downtown after 10pm. If something doesnt really have any impact on your life and you arent interested in it. Its easy to do just not be involved and not care that deeply.
Littles were that for greg. He wasnt against littles, he wasnt for littles. He was just living his life, going to work, trying to pay his mortgage. Get a promotion, get grocceries bought, make sure the bills are paid.
I dont think that means he would be totally fine with madison beating a little tiny. He also could have made his stance clear the story never said he never voiced displeasure. Its only ever said he didnt actively care about littles as he was immune and he was concerned about just his daily life, his family, the bills, the house, etc.
You don;t always have to agree with everything your spouse believes in. Some spouses have political differences, or different opinons on issues and part of being married is being able to accept their differences. Would Greg have cared more if His daughters, or wife, or some family member more directly tied to the family had smallara. Sure but he didnt and thats how alot of people live. Even in real life. Like china has commited horrible war crimes, america and iran are fighting and alot of people in america just go to work as rent is still do. the utlities still have to get paid. But that doesnt mean they are necessarily for against something. it jus tmeans life things can be more important.
Yeah sure, if he wasn’t directly benefitting off of his wife spouting off hatred and being explicitly pro slavery. If you are married to a political figure, and support that political figure, you straight up support their views. You can’t then turn around and say “Well, it doesn’t affect me personally so I am fine with the woman I married and raised a family with affecting national policy that dehumanizes people because of becoming vulnerable due to something out of their control.”
Sorry, but if I am married to someone who speaks out and advocated for slavery and dehumanization, I would have to be okay with those views. It is straight up cowardly to then claim that you never believed in them and push back only when you are on the receiving end.
Fair points here I don’t think it’s going to end with divorce I highly doubt Mads or McKenzie want that for either parent and they being the reason for that
Honestly agree about how Greg is kinda handling this and kinda proving Cindy’s point in some regards not saying Cindy isn’t without fault but Greg isn’t innocent either
For sure. I understand that they are still teenagers, but the absolute disregard of the fact that she is deciding to split her parents up really bothers me with Kenzie. I get that she hates her mom, but why would she go out of her way to separate her from her husband, and give very little weight to that decision.
I also think her being okay with Cindy living like that and even liking it is very hypocritical. I get it, she should see the error of her ways and how her views were bigoted and hurt what is essentially just little humans, but if she really does believe those things are bigoted, shouldn’t she be the bigger person, not just physically.
Like, I think over time, she would come to heavily regret the way she is acting here, if she is actually a good person. I am not convinced yet though.
I do give leeway to Mads and Kenzie though. Seeing as they are teenagers.
there was a comment from Asuka last season about being the bigger person but for the life of me i can’t remember what it said, but they had a pretty defensible take on not being the bigger person from what i can recall.
in general though, i would lean in your direction. I think kenzie splitting them up is pretty thoughtless and inconsiderate, and it makes me wonder how much of what Cindy taught she actually took to heart and just doesn’t want to admit to. like you said above, it seems like she does see them as lesser, not just as dependent. like she’s fine with greg now, but what happens if he’s honest with her and still wants to be with cindy and help her and stuff. is Kenzie going to throw him to the wayside?
You nailed my thoughts exactly!
Like, I get it, she loves her dad and wants him to be with her, but if she isn’t willing to take Cindy as well, if he truly loves his wife, he will come to resent her for choosing to separate them.
As much as it sucks, the better option would be leaving them both with Madison and maybe taking some responsibility to make sure Madison treats them with some form of love and respect.
I just think being okay with slavery as a punishment means you are okay with slavery.
I really wanna like Kenzie, as she sees the problems in how the world is okay dominating and enslaving a population because they are bigger than them, but she seems to also be okay with treating those she has control over as pets when it best suits her. Idk, maybe that changes, but at least Madison is honest about who she is.
In defense of McKenzie (and I’m not saying I totally agree, I’m just playing devil’s advocate here), she can’t make things easier on Greg without taking custody of him. Even if she wanted to take Cindy, it would never happen, they have already agreed that Cindy belongs to Madison and Greg belongs to McKenzie (from the first season, there was a legal agreement). The only other option is one of the girls gets both of them and I don’t see that happening.
She hasn’t really tried though. She is literally her sister’s guardian. Talk to her. Make it clear to her that it is reprehensible the way she is treating the people who raised her. Make it clear that they are still the same people, just smaller.
Prove Cindy was wrong, don’t reinforce her shitty bigoted ass beliefs because of some petty karma or whatever. I do give her more leeway though because she is a child. Greg is just straight up spineless.
Like, dude your wife was teaching one daughter that enslaving people for being vulnerable is right and was dismissing the other for saying she was wrong. Which she clearly was. It kinda blows my mind that most of these people can hold a full conversation with a little and then turn around and treat them like a dog who doesn’t know any better because the government says it is so.
Even with scientists saying they are a different species, you know they can think, communicate, and feel just as well as a human. So what does it matter if they are technically genetically different than you? Seems like any decent person would see that and push back. But it seems most people are just okay enslaving their loved ones because they became vulnerable.
Which I am not saying is bad writing or world building as it is very interesting from an ontological standpoint, but I hesitate to call anyone who just accepts slavery of what are essentially just little people in their own home, good people. Like, at all.
The smallara world has a lot of things based partly on our human past. Humans are capable of amazing things and have done some evil things. unfortunately it seems humans doing bad things to other humans for personal benefit is very popular throughout history.
Their human legal affairs died with their human bodies. They are not married so they don’t have to think about divorce
I meant more in a they still love each other way. Not legally. Like, just because they shrank doesn’t mean you lose all care for the person you dedicated your life to, unless you didn’t love them in the first place.
Things are looking up for Greg. He NEEDS to heed McKenzie’s words and follow Madison’s directions when she is in charge. That way he will always have a direct line of communication with McKenzie.
He may be able to soften McKenzie up over time, but he needs to work on some other tacts. He needs to start working on Madison. It will have to be very minor things. He also needs to work on Cindy. She has got to change her views on Littles or McKenzie will never help her. Greg needs to drum that into her.
Probably the only way to get Madison to think different is to first get McKenzie to soften up on Cindy, and that depends on Cindy changing her attitude (good luck with that 😝)
Since it looks like Greg will only be around Cindy, is when Madison is around, he will have a difficult time with private conversations. Perhaps he can negotiate to have alone time with Cindy (matrimonial reasons 😇).
One thing that Greg might have in his favor is that Madison will likely be “friendlier” towards him, in hopes of “winning him over”. If she goes full “Cindy” on him (ultra guardian), she isn’t likely to keep him in the long run (remember, she’ll have access to him until she graduates, so that is quite a long time). Of course all that time gives Madison plenty of opportunity to scheme.
1) greg listening to mckenzie would be helpful. As she isnt really keeping him from madison or cindy. He is just living in the habitat in her room. but madison still gets him after school he still does stuff. He could even get dropped off in madisons room if he wanted when mckenzie goes to school if he didn twant to stay in the habtiat in her room.
2)I agree I feel like Greg could slowly chip away at McKenzie and Mckenzie over time would probably ease naturally herself as time heals all wounds. But time wise its still the same academic year. so it hasnt been that long for htem.
3)Well Madison has some leverage because she took cindy as McKenzie refused.
4) lol
5) that is also true. Madison will beon best behavior atleast for a bit one would think to woo greg to madison side.
2) I think Cindy is a broken person that had trauma of some kind in her childhood to be so hateful toward such a weak race. To think it’s remarkable how kind Kenz has been to her now little Mom who was verbally abusing and unsupportive. Can’t help Cindy until she is purged of her hateful heart.
3) does Kenz have to bond Greg before Madison does?
Damn, I spent so long writing my reply through a translator, and the site didn’t publish it? Why?
I don’t show any pending or flagged. I assume a time out. On really long replies it’s happened to me before. I think lethal has been hit with it before too.
On reading the comments on this episode it makes me ask:
Do the girls still see Cindy and Greg as married, or did becoming Littles essentially nullify that?
I get the feeling that neither of them see them as parents anymore, they just have some sentimental memories of them as parents.
Well, they recognize them as married, but McKenzie would never take Cindy. So Greg’s options are to tell McKenzie that he wants to stay with Cindy, which means staying with Madison.
Or he can go with McKenzie and still see Madison and Cindy when they get together. post graduation. He could also video chat and stuff. But McKenzie doesnt want Cindy in her daily life. if cindy was full sized and mckenzie moved out she would see cindy on holidays and birthdays that would be her involvement with her.
1) “Greg could do nothing as McKenzie carried him out of Madison’s room.” not that he’d want to
2) “comfortable instead of controlled” that’s why she’s not like the other Wessen girls
3) “She always has to ruin everything.” That is Cindy’s speciality
4) “She’s with her favourite daughter. She doesn’t need anything from me.” Damn That’s cold
5) “Greg shifted slightly where he stood on the desk, choosing his words carefully. There were a hundred ways to respond to that, and most of them would make things worse.” Poor Greg, having to play peacekeeper between the three ways he’s getting pulled
6) “I want to take care of you. I want to make sure you’re safe, that you’re actually… okay. Not just handled.” Not a plan, but good enough for now
7) “You’re both the best things I’ve ever done. You’re my life’s greatest work.” Just a pity one of them is also Cindy’s masterpiece
8) “I just… don’t want Madison to get hurt in the process. She’s still my little girl.” Completely fair concern, especially since that hurt could be taken out on his wife
9) “I’m not saying she doesn’t feel things, I’m saying that doesn’t mean she gets everything she wants.” Another important lesson I’m assuming she learned from Greg
10) “You’re still worried about her.” – “Of course I am, She’s my daughter.” He wouldn’t be such a great Dad if he wasn’t
11) “Everything about how she handled him was different. Less assumed. More offered.” as it should be
12) “She’s still trying to figure out where she fits in all of this” She actually seems pretty sure about it, sure enough to also decide where others fit
13) “I’m not asking you to choose,” the choice is already made
14) “Something simpler. He felt… happy. Genuinely happy. Not something he’d get with Madison
15) “He missed the weight of a real hug. The familiarity of it. The ability to pull her close, to press a kiss against the top of her head the way he used to when she was younger.” Aw, that’s such a sad image
16) “When she gets home, she’ll come get you from here, and you’ll spend time with her and Mom. But I want you in here with me at night when I get home and in the mornings and stuff.” I feel like this should be an upgrade, but I can only think about how he’s now expected to spend most of his day alone, despite his wife being a few doors down.
17) “But this way you’re not bouncing back and forth all the time.” He objectively still is, bouncing daily now.
18) “You’ve got a place that’s yours, and things are a little more… consistent.” Not what I think Madison meant when she said he needed that, so point for McKenzie there
19) “It wasn’t lost on him that this wasn’t just McKenzie deciding something on her own. This was negotiated” Negotiated his future without him.
20) “She wanted you full-time, which, yeah, that wasn’t happening.” Of course, she did; she had gotten used to it while McKenzie was neglecting him
21) “And it only works if you actually listen to her when you’re with her.” Well, he won’t need to ask about you if he sees you daily, which was the “not listening” Madison got cranky over.
22) “But Madison and I are co-guardians on this, which means we both get a say, you and Mom.” Both get a say, but neither parent does.
23) “I’m handling you, she’s handling Mom.” Actually, it’s more like Madison’s handling Cindy, and McKenzie and Madison are both handling Greg
24) “McKenzie wasn’t angry anymore. She wasn’t even arguing. She had just… decided.” She gave up
