Callie, Ximena, and AJ were hiding from ICE, Logan's girlfriend was in town, and the school was facing a major crisis. On top of everything that was happening, Mariana was just trying to figure out how she was going to get through it all. She needed to clear her head, and since Emma was coming over in a few minutes, she knew she could get this whole Logan thing situated... at least she thought so./p

She wondered if she should even talk to Mariana about the kiss. There was a lot going on within the Adams Foster family, and the last thing Mariana needed was to be confused with this, too.
