Aspen: Finally. Was there traffic?

Grim: Rude.

[vintageplumbobs]

Aspen: Forgive me, it’s lovely to finally meet you.

Grim: Peter has been talking my ear off about you...are you ready?

Aspen: Yes. Yes, I think so. Ridley, my love, remember what I said. Family is everything, okay?

Ridley: Please don’t go...

Aspen: You’ll be just fine.

Aspen: I hear you’re trying to take my crown as Rock Paper Scissors Champion? 

Orwell: That’s right! Bring it on!

Ridley: OH...oh no no no, Grandma you can’t go, Mum’s not here and-

Aspen: It’s okay, Ridley. It’s time. 

[vintageplumbobs]

Ridley: Listen, Grandma, what you said yesterday about Orwell and the money, I-

Aspen: Leave it, Ridley. It’s okay. I want to see you and your family secure and happy, what’s wrong with that? It’s not like I’ll need it. 

Ridley: I know, but-

Aspen: My gift. Okay?

Ridley: Okay.

Aspen: Spoken to your sister much?

Ridley: Not really...she’s so busy.

Aspen: Talk to her. Tell her I say hello.

Ridley: Cora sent me this photo of the triplets, they’re so precious!

Aspen: Oh, how lovely! They must have their hands full! Reminds me of my own house growing up! Four humans was tough enough for Mum and Dad...I can’t imagine having wolves and witches in the mix!

Ridley: They seem to have things under control.

Aspen: Well, if anyone can, it’ll be Cora. 

Ridley: True!

Ridley: Hey, Grandma. How’re you feeling?

Aspen: I’m old, Rids. How do you think I’m feeling? It’s good to see you.

Ridley: Orwell has been telling his cousins about you all morning. 

Aspen: That’s sweet. I’ll say hello soon, but first, tea. 

Ridley: Very sensible. 

[vintageplumbobs]

Ridley: Everything okay, Grandma?

Aspen: Of course. I just know how much you both work.

Ridley: Some of us more than others.

Aspen: I just don’t want you to miss out on each other. Peter, rest his soul, was always away for work. He missed so much.
