Brenna gently tapped the play button on a voice message on Patrick's phone. Ellie's voice rang out, "Hey Patrick, it's Mommy Thiago and I are off on a honeymoon trip. It's a bit of a hassle to bring you along this time, so you're going to stay with your godmother for the week. Don't worry; I've already prepared all your favorite outfits for you.
