"God, I can't remember the last time that I was this happy," I said as I grabbed my sister. Mom was having a barbecue to celebrate her being cancer free. I offered to do it at my house, but she wanted to do it at home, Wwith the family. I could tell that Emma and Mason be-ing invited made them both feel part of the family.
Then again, Mason comes to every damn family event.
People used to laugh and ask if he was my girl-friend; he was the only person that would come with me to an event that I would show up with more than once. Every girl I did bring, and there were very few, only came once or twice and then no one saw them again.
No one bothered asking if they were coming back. I had a reputation and not a very good one. But, I had a feeling that they knew Emma was different. Besides, handing in her notice hadn't gone down very well.
