"Right? It's been super quiet. I haven't seen dad at all," she was looking back at Grim when she said it, trying to keep the hurt out of her voice. "I wish I lived closer to everyone. Hawaii is quite the floo," she shrugged, playing it off like it was no big. "I'm definitely looking forward to the Cinco party," she beamed. "I've been planning like mad," she grinned.
