Chapter 23
Thanks JennDur for beta'ing for me.
"Mom, can we talk?" I asked the next morning. Emmett had just texted me and asked if he could take me for dinner that night, but I wanted to make sure my mom was still on board before I agreed.
"Sure, what's going on, baby?"
"When we talked yesterday, did you mean what you said? That you'd deal with Dad? Because I ran into Emmett last night, and we both still want to be together."
"Leah," she started. "As long as that boy treats you with respect I wouldn't care if he was purple with orange polka dots. Your father was out of line, and you bet your behind I'll be dealing with him."
I went over and hugged her tight, whispering my thanks. She rubbed my back and kissed my hair. "Don't thank me, baby, I'm just correcting his mistakes. Although, I do want to meet this boy before you leave with him tonight."
