"Zoë would you like to play with me?"

"Yeah. Auntie Ali play wif me" she says, handing me an Olaf teddy

"Oh my god" Hanna screams from the other side of a small rope swing

"Han come on, it's a tiny gap"

"Yeah a tiny gap with a one hundred and fifty feet drop" she yells, her legs wobble like jelly

"Move Hanna, I'll do it" Aria says pushing past

Aria grips tightly to the rope and swings over, Toby slightly helping her small legs onto the platform

"Han if small fry can do it so can you" Spencer shouts

Hanna pulls her gelatin legs closer to the edge and grabs the rope

"Hanna even if you fall you have a harness on" I shout over reminding her she can't die

"Shit" she screams swinging over to us

"You did it" Ezra shrieks as Hanna's legs begin to stop shaking

"Who suggested this torture?" Hanna laughs

"You did" a sarky Spencer replies

"Let's go to a tree top adventure, Hanna said. Let's swing from the trees like Tarzan, Hanna said. It'll be great fun Hanna said. Let's go home, Hanna said" Caleb laughs mocking her

Hanna was terrified that she was going to die. She wasn't anything like Tarzan, she struggled to walk in a straight line on the floating wooden platform, never mind swinging from vines, but despite Hanna's nerves we were all having a great time. If only Ali was here.

"Lunchtime. It's spaghettiOs"
I carry 7 bowls of hooped spaghetti over to the dining table

"Bon appetite"

"Thanks Mommy"

"Thank you Aunt Ali"

"Thank you Mommy"

I pull a seat over and sit in between Harper and Abigail; as I watch the kids eat their lunch I realise how lucky I am to have these people in my life. Many years ago I thought I was going to spend my whole life running from A, spend my whole life alone. Instead I am surrounded with friends and family I love and I couldn't be happier.

"Okay beautiful, one last obstacle and then we go home" Caleb whispers into Hanna's ear

"Who's first?" asks Ezra

"I'll go"

I take a deep breath as I am clipped on

"Just walk off and gravity will take care of the rest" an employee says to me

I look over to my friends, the girls hugging their husbands. I step off and my slim body falls towards the ground 150 feet below. Then just before I hit the ground my free-fall slows and I gently land on my feet.

"Come on Toby. You can do it" I shout to him

Once Toby lands he stays at the bottom so he can catch his falling wife. She falls into his arms.

"The last time you held me like this was on our wedding night" Spencer says, combing her hand through his hair 

"What you talking about? I carry you into bed like this all the time" he laughs

"Maybe we could put Abigail to bed early and you could carry me into bed like this tonight?" Spencer giggles, twisting his short hair with her finger
