By Monday morning, the news of Hannah's break-up had reached all of the family. Alexis Castle Bowman decided that some retail therapy and a sister's lunch was a great way to cure whatever ailed her sister. The kids were off from school today, so she'd call her dad first; he'd love to hang out with Katie and Joe. Then she'd call Hannah and see if she wanted to go out.

As she suspected, her dad was very happy to spend a few hours with his grandchildren. Alex was only six months older than Katie, so they were more like cousins than uncle and niece, and Joe was two years younger. Her dad had big plans for the day that included a movie marathon. He told her that Hannah seemed to be feeling a bit better, but he bet she'd love some retail therapy.

After hanging up, Alexis quickly called Hannah, who answered almost immediately. "Hi Alexis! How are you?" Hannah's voice sounded normal.

"I'm good. But the question is how are you? I heard the news," Alexis replied. After she got a quiet "okay" as her answer, she asked her sister, "How about some retail therapy? And then a little lunch at Remy's? It feels like forever since it's just been us girls," Alexis said.

"Just us girls? Don't the kids have off from school today?" answered Hannah.

"Ah, that is why I will pick you up. I will be dropping my children off to spend the day with their grandpa, grandma and their Uncle Alex," Alexis's smile came through the phone. She loved her children dearly, but she also loved when they spent time with other people.

"Well, in that case, shopping, here we come!" Hannah said.

The ladies agreed to meet as soon as possible. Alexis ended the call, and went to round up her kids and they were soon on their way. Joe wanted to knock on the door; he and Grandpa had a special knock. A minute later, the door was opened and there was Rick Castle.

"Daughter! Granddaughter! Grandson! How are you on this lovely day?" He kissed cheeks as his grandchildren giggled. Alexis herded them inside, as Hannah came running down the stairs.

"Hey guys," she said as she hugged and kissed her niece and nephew. "Have fun watching movies," as she went to the closet and grabbed her red leather jacket. "Hey, dad, can I have the credit card? We're going shopping!" Rick pretended to be pained at that, but he handed it over. As they had been talking, Kate came to the front hallway.

"Well, hi kids! Alex is in the living room, waiting to see what movies you want to watch," Kate said. As she was talking to the kids, Hannah and Alexis waited to say good bye. Soon, the two ladies were boarding the subway for their shopping trip.

They hit up several boutiques, trying on clothes but nothing seemed right. They did better at their favorite shoe store, each buying a pair of boots. Alexis teased her little sister about being her mother's daughter, but Hannah just shrugged her shoulders. They decided they'd had enough retail therapy, and headed off to Remy's. They sat across from each other in the booth. Remy's was special to the Castle family; it was where they went any time they wanted to feel good. Alexis looked at her sister; she seemed to be okay, but she asked her anyway. Hannah told her about her mom's sugar therapy, Jamie's magical mac and cheese, and Dad's strawberry happy face pancakes.

"Alexis, I'm still a bit sad and mad that Mark broke up with me. I thought we could work it out, but he didn't want to try," she sniffled a bit as she added that last.

"Oh, sweetie, I know. I've been there. I know it's not fun, and it hurts. Give yourself some time to grieve. And I know it sounds like a cliché, but it will get better. There really are other guys out there. I remember when I broke up with my first serious boyfriend; I thought I'd never be happy again. It took a few more years, but I did find a great guy, and married him. It'll happen for you too, Hannah," Alexis looked at her sister. "And now I think we need great big shakes to wash down all this food. What do you say, sis?"

Hannah grinned at her sister and nodded. Alexis always knew what made her happy. Hannah's friends always complained about their big sisters, but she was lucky, Alexis was awesome. Maybe they got along so well because they never fought over clothes or boys or stuff, but when Hannah needed advice or a hug, she could count on her big sister. Yeah, breaking up with Mark sucked, but right now, she felt okay. A weekend of comfort food and love from her family did wonders.
