Today is Valentine's day. I am so excited to see what Darcy will give me this year. Last year he gave me a box of chocolate, a red rose, and a fancy dinner date. I hurry up to my room and slip on a Megan Wong original. It's baby pink and strapless. I love it.
"Jess! It's time to go to Clementine's house for a MDBC meeting and to celebrate Valentine's day!"
I light up. I heard that Gigi's making dim sum.
When we pull up to the drive way, I jump out and twirl my dress. Megan comes out and smiles when she sees me.
"Like it?" she says, joining me on the drive way.
I stare at her, and shake my head. "No, I don't like. I love it!"
Megan beckons me with her hand. "C'mon. Let's go. I want some dim sum."
I follow her cheerily. I step in the house and expect to see Darcy smiling at me and hugging me. I'm surprised when I don't see him. And I'm a little hurt when I see
Stewart engulf Emma in a hug. I watch as Simon and Tristan take Megan and Cassidy's hand. Where is he?
I sit down a little glumly on the brightest couch I can find. Yellow. I wish Darcy would plop down beside me and we would be squished. It's one of those weird chairs where it's too big for one person but too small for two people. Darcy and I had never minded.
Gigi comes out grandly, carrying a tray full of delicious smelling dim sum. Cassidy jumps up the second that Gigi sets the tray down. She grabs all her favorite food and then sits back down.
"Cassidy!" her mother scolds her.
Cassidy shrugs. "Sorry. I just love dim sum," she mumbles, her mouth full.
Mrs. Sloan-Kinkaid just shakes her head. Usually this would make me laugh but today it doesn't. Nothing makes me laugh. I don't even eat any dim sum, which is so not like me. Even the fudge that is soon brought out doesn't tempt me.
Where is Darcy?
