The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares
Jamie looked from Robert to Lila, from Adam to Evie, from Ray to Sasha in disbelief. To Mattie he shrugged.
“We’re going to elope in November,” Emma announced to the group without preamble. “You can all come.”
There was general approval, congratulations, not much surprise. Ray did his taxi whistle.
“Why not a wedding?” Lila asked. “We’ll behave this time.” She glanced at Robert and her face turned more serious. “I will behave this time.”
Robert looked at Lila. The look wasn’t affectionate, exactly, but it was without bitterness. “I will too.”
“I’ll make another bean salad,” Lila offered.
Emma spun toward her. “No bean salad.”
“I was kidding.” It was a remarkable feat that Lila had advanced to kidding.
Emma and Jamie shared a look. “Well, for once, you all aren’t even the problem,” Emma explained.
Jamie looked pained but unbroken. “We can go to city hall together.”
Can you see this, Quinn? I really hope you can.
