I&#8217;m used to (and still loving) her lovey-dovey side, but I wasn&#8217;t expecting what happened this morning. I walked Zoe into Elena&#8217;s, said my hellos to everyone and then headed to the door. &#8220;Bye, Zoe!&#8221; I called out with a wave and watched as Zoe, who was already on the other side of the room, sprinted back towards me with her arms wide open. When I bent down, she threw her arms around me and gave me a huge kiss &#8211; her way of saying good-bye.
