(Emery) ***6 Months Later*** "Dad, you're coming early, right? Parking has been horrible the last two games." I reminded him as I held the phone up to my ear before running a brush through my hair. "Yeah bug, Jack and I are leaving now. We are picking up Tina and Melody on the way." He informed me and I couldn't help but smile to myself as my dad mentioned Melody..she is one of Asher's mom's friends. Tina actually set my dad up on a blind date with her. It was totally out of his comfort zone but he finally agreed to do it after some major begging on my part. Melody is a thirty-six-year-old hairdresser who owns a shop in town. She has black hair and brown eyes, her skin is a gorgeous caramel color and I guess she is a widow as well. Her husband died when he was deployed ten years ago a
