Chapter 2
Later that evening, Amanda talks to her father on the phone, inviting him to lunch at her apartment. He tells her that he would love to come over for lunch and he asks if he can bring his new wife along too. Amanda accepts and they hang up the phone. Amanda goes into bed with Declan and she lays on his chest and she talks about her father coming to lunch at their apartment the next day.
"Was that your dad on the phone?" Declan asks.
"Yeah." Amanda replies.
"Is he coming tomorrow?" Declan asks.
"Yeah." Amanda responds.
Amanda and Declan are talking about lunch with her father. She's excited to see her father. Olivia and Fin are also coming for lunch too.
"My dad's bringing someone. Is that okay?" Amanda asks.
"Yeah. Who is he bringing?" Declan responds.
Amanda tells Declan that her father is bringing his new wife to lunch. He wonders what his fiancée's new wife is like.
"Christina." Amanda replies.
"Who's Christina?" Declan asks.
"His new wife." Amanda responds.
Declan is happy that his fiancée's father has a wife that isn't like her mother. He wonders what her mother would think of her ex-husband's new wife. Amanda tells Declan that her father got married a few weeks ago but she was unable to attend her father's wedding due to work and a baby.
"Have I met her?" Declan asks.
"No. But you'll love her. She's the most down to earth woman I've ever known." Amanda replies.
Amanda tells Declan more about her father's new wife. She seems happy that her father met a woman who isn't like her mother. She doesn't know if her new stepmother has met her sister who is currently in jail.
"How did you meet her?" Declan asks.
"I met her while visiting my dad in rehab." Amanda replies.
"Why was he in rehab?" Declan asks.
"He was depressed and he tried to kill himself." Amanda responds.
Amanda and Declan say goodnight to each other as they're ready to go to sleep. They say "I love you" to each other and they go to sleep. They are excited for tomorrow.
