Stuck in the Middle


In this chapter, Emily wakes up to a world transformed by a thick blanket of snow, bringing an unexpected break from school. Excitement fills the house as she, Lily, and Sam embrace the magic of a snow day—building forts, launching snowball fights, and reveling in the winter wonderland. The day is filled with laughter, warmth, and a rare sense of freedom, but just when Emily thinks she’s escaped her responsibilities, a small twist reminds her that even snow days come with their own surprises.

Whitsun was good to us, and we had an extended family break at Mam’s, Von now being almost as much a part of the family as the rest of us, and of course Rachel was along, more relaxed now than I had ever seen her.

But now, I discover all these really cute clothes I have that I never bothered with before. Can you imagine?
