It feels weird to knock on Amos’ door… I have a key—another thing that was probably way too early in our relationship to do based on other peoples’ standards but feels perfect for us. Amos opens the door a moment later with a confused expression. Probably wondering why I didn’t just let myself in.

“Did you forget your key?”

I shake my head. “I didn’t know if you would want your parents to know that we are basically living at each other’s houses and that we exchanged keys. That’s a big step…”

Amos pulls me into his arms and gives me the kiss to end all kisses. “Love, I want the world to know that we are at the almost living together stage.”

“I-” I have no idea what I was about to say when his mom comes to the door and slaps Amos’ arm and tells him to let me inside.

Trudy pulls me inside and gives me a tight squeeze. “So glad you could make it. I made pancakes.”

I give her a happy smile as Amos puts his hand on my lower back and leads me to the table. Alan is already there, eating his pancakes with a big glass of orange juice.

I look back at Amos, and he’s got a troubled but determined look on his face. Obviously, Alan is having a bad day and is confused. I’m not sure why no one isn’t correcting him, but I don’t want to be the one to upset him, so I choose to not say anything either.

“Sit, sit! Let’s eat,” he says boisterously, having no idea the bomb of a mess he just dropped.

Except… some part of me is thrilled at the thought of being married to Amos. Did I say zero to a hundred? Make that zero to a thousand. I’m not upset about the idea of being married. I’m upset because Alan is such a sweetheart, and is this is evidence of how bad his dementia is getting. I feel horrible for Trudy and Amos… Alan too. I can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a loved one in this way, nor can I imagine the frustration of losing your memories.

We all sit down and eat breakfast, the mood somber.

I spend the whole day with them, going on a drive around the town so that Alan can see all the things. We stop into the bakery, and he gets one of my mini apple pies, which he declares to be better than any pie he’s ever had. Trudy seems to get
