    Summary

    “Ignore Mister Buzzkill over here,” Richie announces, turning decidedly away from Carmy. “Cousin Michelle is dying to meet you, Syd, so if you don’t mind-“

    “Fine, fine! As long as you’ve got your head above water in here?…”

    Carmy nods approvingly, smiles. “Yeah, go ahead Syd. Yo, Marcus, think you could step in for a minute?”

    “No doubt, chef.”

    Or, the first time Sydney really felt like part of the family.
