Will do.

My brother got back yesterday so I had dinner at my parents’ house tonight.

How’d it go?

It was fine. I thought E’s eyes were going to pop out of his head when he saw me pregnant.

Well, you’re the most beautiful pregnant woman ever so that tracks.

Gross, it’s my brother.

LMAO

But thanks for the compliment.

Not a compliment. It’s the truth.

HARPER

How far did you get today?

Still in British Columbia but almost to the Yukon.

I was tired when I was driving and had to quit for the day early, but now that I’m in my motel I’m wired.

Maybe I should tell you a bedtime story this time.

All right. Let’s hear it.

Once upon a time there was a princess whose prince had to travel far away. Every day she would look out her window and wonder whether she’d see him approaching the castle. But every day she’d be disappointed that he wasn’t there. With each day that passed she’d miss him more and more and would look forward to all the things they would do together when he returned.

I like where this is going…

LMAO

Keep going…

Hmm… I think I’ll make you wait until tomorrow night. Something to look forward to. ;)

Tease.

You have no idea.

FINN

Stopped in Whitehorse for the night. I’m ready for you to finish that story.

I think you should pick up where I left off.

All right. I think you were talking about all the things the prince and princess might do when he returned. I have some ideas.

Like?

We could go take another cooking class.
