Chapter 4
Landon forgot about the email and tried frantically to think of some other way to show Grace how much he loved her and convince her that she should spend the rest of her life with him.
All his ideas seemed inadequate compared to the original one.
Some days later, Callie let out a whoop of excitement. “They answered our email, Landon! They answered our email!”
Landon sat at his sister’s side, took a deep breath and asked, “Did they say we are crazy?” his heart was pounding hard.
“Shut up, you Grinch! I’ll read their answer to you.”
