"Well then, I'm glad you have both of them." Brenda smoothed on a dollop--that was the technical name for it--of the gel, gently, over the back of Ivy's hand, then palm. "My kids think their stepdad's the best dad, too, so yours has competition." She grinned at Ivy to take away any sting from her words as she gently worked the gel around one finger at a time. "I called Dawn my stepdaughter earlier, but that's only because she was fourteen when my husband and I got married. She's the same age as Sam. I adopted her when my husband and I got married. Aaron's older than you?" She switched to Ivy's other hand.
