Kate was playing it cool, though. "Yeah," she said, taking another sip and smirking at her mother. "But you can't do anything about it because I don't live under your roof no more."

That was about when Charmaine reached out and took the cup from her. "But you live under mine," she said, "so not until you're twenty-one."

Of course, she raised the cup in a way that obscured half her face from Tara and thus blocked her sister's view of the wink she gave to her niece. And said niece shrugged her shoulder, then nudged Bod to signal they were wandering off now.
