"Tell me about her, maybe we can figure it out. What kind of music does she like? Does she play any sports? What's her favorite subject in school? Does she want to go to school here?"

"Can I think about it little bit? I can answer some of those questions but I think for tonight I just needed to know that you would help me."

"No problem. I am excited to meet her."

"Thanks, Megan, you are the best." Once again, my smile tally increased. Mark gave me a big bear hug as I got up from my chair. It threw my balance off just enough and he had to grab me even tighter to keep me from falling. I could feel the answering chuckle resonate in his chest.

"I'm going to go and get the girls now," I said when he finally let go.

"I'll come with you." Andy wrapped his arm around my shoulder and walked me to the door. When we were outside, he said, "It is really nice of you to help Mark. He gets so obsessed about his family sometimes. I'm glad you talked him down."

"I think it's great that he cares so much."

"Great, and a bit debilitating. You should have seen him on our mission."

"Was it that bad?"

"Oh, he was a great missionary but he worried a lot."

"Well, he won't have to worry about this visit. We will make sure Rebekah has the best time."

"You'll make sure. I, for one, will be laying low. I wasn't kidding about the boy crazy thing."

"Are you really afraid of a 16 year old girl?"

"Afraid, no. Terrified, yes. Especially since no matter what I do Mark will be watching me looking for hidden meaning. But Megan, I swear, I have no interest in his sister. You believe me right?"

I bumped my arm against his and gave him my most innocent smile. "Sure, I believe you."
