Author's Note: Last chapter before the Epilogue!!! Whew!

Anyways, enjoy!

He wrote. "FEBRUARY 6: How to have a family for a day. With my sister as my daughter and my best friend as my wife."  

Okay, that sounded weird.

"Okay, that sounded weird."

Seriously?

"Seriously."

Are you kidding me?

I did a double take at his words. It's like he's talking to me or something! Or maybe we just think too much alike it's scary.

"But hey, at least the method of making a family is completely not weird at all, if you know what I'm saying..."

Come on. Really? Even in a book, he'd make perverted jokes.

Sometimes I wonder how he can be a gentleman and be able to come up with innuendos at the same time.

That's called acting. I imagined him telling me so arrogantly... With that handsome smirk of his and that twinkle in his eyes when he thinks he's made a good point. Plus his stare when he's waiting for my reaction––or provoking a reaction from me for all I care. His cute mischievous laugh at the end is so worth it...

Okay, snap out of it!

Ugh, what am I a lovesick puppy?

Yes you are. I imagined him saying again... Adding a very hot wink at the end with his lips forming a very sexy pout––

Okay, okay, I get it!

He's perfectly handsome! So can we please move on?

Oh shoot, I'm talking to myself again.

"Haha I'm only kidding. But anyways, I got an early call from Aunt Krista (it's Saturday so a 9:30am call is still considered very early to me)."

What a coincidence, me too!

"She told me if I would be able to come earlier than 12 to their house––though it didn't sound like a request. More like a demand."

Ugh, my mom's so demented sometimes.

"Of course, I found it a little strange but when I said yes and asked her why, she hang up. Just like that."

Yup, totally demented.

My mom can be very weird sometimes. And then I remembered Andrew telling me that his mom's much worse than mine, making me wonder how Aunt Lynn is going to top my mom when she's acting like this.

"Today I'm going to introduce Em to my sister. When I told mom earlier that I'm going to take Trish out and have a day with Em, she was totally devastated. She wanted to come with us so badly but seeing as how she and dad are gonna be out of town on a business trip, she can't. She didn't say anything but I'm pretty sure she just wanted to see Em again.

I'm pretty excited to drive to Em's house because she promised to make me the best lunch ever. But when I got there, Hale just had to dampen my mood."

Dampen, ugh. He's so British.

"She's talking with Em and I suspected he's being an ass to her again. So I went in and stood in front of Em. I was so sick of how she's acting like she's being nice to Em now. And Em seems to believe her, but I'm not buying it. But anyways, I got rid of her––which Em seemed not be happy about. That's just the way she is. Very forgiving, trusting, genuine, and accepting. I sometimes wish she'd be more cautious, guarded, rude, and untrusting to people so they wouldn't dream of taking advantage of her. But then, she wouldn't be the Em that I fell for––and still am falling for, for that matter––if she changed the way she is."
