Text message:  Need you at home.  We've got a bit of a situation.

As soon as she sends the text message, she sits down on the edge of the couch with a groan before setting her cell phone on the coffee table.  Resting her elbows on her knees, she pushes her fingers through her hair while reminding herself that she needs to be calm.  Being calm is the ( Read more... )

“Phoebe, come on! Get your butt in here and brush your teeth.” Claire called down the hallway from where she stood in the bathroom.
