We'll do a few more sessions with cady initially, but that can happen at your office or school. Yeah. I haven't had time to look into that yet. Nicole was homeschooling her. But, yeah, it's on my list. Sorry, can I just ask, how close were you and your sister?

- I Don't know. - But you wanted this, right? To take custody? Yeah, of course. Okay, because the father's parents have said they're willing to take her if it's too much. Wait. Did they contact you? It's no big deal, Gemma. They're just trying to be supportive. If Nicole wanted cady to go to Jacksonville, she would have said so. But even so, I need to make my own recommendations to the court as to whether or not this is a safe space. So, you're gonna need to make one or two adjustments in order for this to work.

Anyway, it's not gonna take longer than a couple of hours. But if you could just hold down the fort by yourself for a little while, that would help me so much. You can use my iPad if you want. You can facetime a friend or play a game or something. What about screen time? Hmm?

What is this? Did you draw a picture? Oh, my god. This is amazing. I'm still working on it. Tell me. It was actually supposed to be a different animal for each head. Mm-hmm. Like, this one was supposed to be a tiger. And this one was supposed to be a grizzly bear, but I can never seem to get the fur right.Mmm. It's hard. I can relate. I've actually been working with some furry creatures myself.

Why doesn't he have a face? Yeah, I know what you mean. It's a pretty obvious design flaw. Okay, hold on. Let's see what we have.
