Always Remember (Memories) (27 page)

Sam grabs an orange from the fruit bowl and throws it at her. Lexy catches it, grinning, and hands it to Dylan who immediately drops it and yells, “Ball!”

“But you don’t get any more mature,” I note, settling Violet in her bouncy chair. I clip her in, sit back, and bounce her gently with my foot.

Sam sits back, slips an arm around my shoulders, and pulls me into him. “None of us have really grown up. We just got older physically. Mentally? We
’re still the same crazy bunch that met in Lilac Bay seven years ago.”

Alec perches on the arm of the chair
Lexy’s sitting on, and they smile at each other. “You have that right.”

“And now we
’ve produced our own mini army of crazies,” I muse, eyeing the twins giggling over one of Daisy’s old puzzles.

Lexy looks at all of us. “What on Earth did we go and do that for?”

“Because these two,” I cock my thumbs towards Sam and Alec. “Are still horny teens mentally.”

“Hey.” Sam shrugs. “I said we were still the same bunch that met in Lilac Bay.”

I turn my face to him, smiling softly. I touch his cheek. “And I wouldn’t have us any other way.”

THE END.

By day,
New York Times
and
USA Today
bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to a terrible two year old and growing bump, due September 2013. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of juice and writes books.

She likes to write about magic, kisses and whatever else she can fit into the story. Sarcastic, witty characters are a must. As are hot guys.

Emma is currently working too many books to even count - including Playing for Keeps, the companion book to
New York Times
and
USA Today
bestselling novel, The Love Game. She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to when all the ideas come to life.
