CHAPTER 28

I knocked on Aunt Peg's door. Adam answered, looking better than he had in a long time.

"Hey, Jamie!" He said, giving me a hug. "I didn't know you were coming over."

"Hi Adam! Can you help me unload my car?"

"Sure, is it something heavy?"

"See for yourself." I said, as Grace opened the car door and Beast, Spike's German shepherd, jumped out of the backseat.

"Beast!!" Adam yelled, running over to hug the dog, which gave him a big sloppy kiss. Within thirty seconds, they were playing together and rolling around on the ground.

My aunt came out of the house. "Are you sure you don't mind?" I asked her.

"It'll be fine," she said. "Look how happy you made him!"

"I think they both look pretty happy."

Grace waved from the car and my aunt waved back.

"I have to get going," I said. "We're having a 'Girls' Night Out'."

"I'd say you earned it. Thanks for everything and don't forget about dinner on Sunday.

I was about to get in the car when Aunt Peg stopped me. "Jamie, I just want to say, your mom would've been proud of you."

"She would've been proud of you too," I said, and blew her a kiss.
