Daphne:Eeps. What if he comes home like he did last time?

Me:Well, I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I’ll be looking at him through new eyes, that’s for sure. I keep trying to imagine what my mom and Sebastian would have looked like together at seventeen, but there don’t seem to be any photos.

Me:I want to look into his face knowing that he’s my dad. I wish we’d found photos of the two of them.

Max:So crazy that Aria thought to look at the photos in the yearbook, too.

Max:And her aunt hiding that letter … OMG.

Max:Those two are like peas in a pod, if you ask me.

Daphne:Don’t let me forget to tell Aria she needs to bring that yearbook back to the library.

Daphne:(But that’s neither here nor there. Sorry.)

Me:LOL No worries. I’ll pass the request along to her.

I pocket my phone and head downstairs with my overnight bag and backpack, careful to check the lock on the back door before leaving now that I know my aunt and uncle aren’t especially diligent about it.
