Despite the fact that her home with Phillip was new and unlike anything she had previously lived in before, although she had visited more well-off friends on occasion, it was feeling more and more like home by the day and having full run of the place made the transition easier. While she wasn't fully used to so many people to help run things, Acacia had been the 'mother hen' so to speak since her mother had left them. Despite his best efforts to not have Acacia grow up too fast, there was only so much their father could do as a working man.
Acacia's familiar smile flashed wide as she reciprocated her brother's hug. "Dunstan! Aurora is with daddy. You can't blame the man for wanting some bonding time with his first grandchild," she giggled before letting go to get a good look at him. So grown up, where had the time gone? A brief flash of the incident nagged at her, but she brushed that aside. "How have things been?" Of course father had his own perspective on the state of the household, anyone of them would have. Chrysanta would always be the most opinionated of the bunch. While she wouldn't mind hearing from each sibling, Acacia viewed Dunstan and Orinda to at least have a more levelheaded viewpoint on household matters.
