It's starting to bother her

Joel's ex is off tomorrow, she stopped by to give Joel the new insurance cards in case we get to his apartment first. She wants to take the kids to the museum after our oldest boy appointment and out to lunch then keep them overnight. The boys of course are excited and ready to go. Then she asked Sissy.

She said no thank you.

But it would be fun and we could watch a movie stay up late after the boys go to bed, and I could do your hair. We could make s'mores cookies, It would be a fun girl's night. Give Star the day off.

No I'd rather not go if that's okay.

Well of course sweetie that's ok.

I could tell she was hurt by her saying no. She always tells her no when she asks her.

I don't know what to do, I can't force her to spend the day with her if she doesn't want to go.

Thank you for asking me Sissy said and headed to her room.

I'm really sorry I said

Don't be sorry, I get it she just needs time. I know you guys haven't had a night alone in a long time. I'll see you tomorrow.

Joel didn't say much as we had our cigars. I can't tell if he's upset or not. Than he said it.

A night alone would be nice.

I know but if she doesn't want to go

No I get it, I'm going to bed, it's late .

So now Im torn. I really don't know what to do here.
