THE BOY NEXT DOOR✓ EPISODE 103✓

After school, I go shopping with my Mom. She got her gown for the party a day ago so we are going to buy mine.                    

Ryan drives us and mom keeps talking the entire time. I've never seen her so excited. Daniel is definitely good for her.
                     
She keeps rambling on and on about nothing in particular and she finally stops when her phone rings.

She smiles sadly and reaches to push my hair back.
"Sometimes I feel so
