Chapter 25 Chapter 25

On Thursday, I got ready for school and went downstairs to get breakfast. I ran into Tamara in the hallway and we went to the kitchen together. Mom was at the stove cooking and smiling to herself when we got to the kitchen. I gave her a weird look, "Mom, you're happy. What's up?" I asked. She turned around to face us and her smile broaden into a grin. "Jared proposed to me last night." She informed, holding her hand up to us. "No way!" Tamara screamed as she ran over to mom and hugged her. My eyes widen, "That's great, Mom." I went over as well and joined in the hug. "I'm so happy for you." "Thanks girls." She said, then pulled away. Tamara smiled at Mom. "You really do love him, don't you Mom?" She asked. Mom nodded her head, still smiling. "Yes. I didn't think that I could love anyone else after your father, but I was wrong." She said as she went back to the stove to finish cook.
