    His daughter, Lily Barnes, told me she could never like a guy like me. Then she kissed me and told me it would never happen again. When it happened again, she told me she could never love me because she was going to leave this place, and I would never leave my dad. We were never quite friends, not exactly enemies, and we could never quite stop secretly kissing each other. She never said goodbye before running off to try to make it as an actress.

The worst part is, I think I miss seeing Owen’s lopsided grin. Crap.Owen: My very pregnant sister demanded macaroons from her favorite bakery, Sweet Perfection. I was a little annoyed at first, but one look at the gorgeous baker and I know I’ll be thanking my sister for the rest of my days. She inadvertently introduced me to my future wife, and that’s definitely something to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. I’m hoping for a Christmas wedding, but my angel is a little skittish.
