Dylan stood in her bedroom in front of the mirror and lifted her hair, debating whether to wear it up or down. Dinner with Kat’s family the previous Friday had turned out good. She liked Leah, and Briley was always good fun. Evan acted respectful, and Griffin was a ball of sunshine. Today Kat had promised them a surprise. Kat seemed excited enough for all three of them. Even Briley couldn’t get the surprise out of her and she’d tried, countless times.
Emma kept badgering her to spend more time with Kat, but first Dylan had to be sure Kat was going to stick around and so far, she hadn’t shown any signs of running. Dylan felt it was the right time for Kat and Emma to spend more time together.
“Mom, can you help with my pants?” Emma called out from her bedroom.
“Coming.” From all the times
