I felt awful for Gem that day. She deserves more than this. Mom is making her think that she isn't good enough. It isn't really fair. Twins are equals, too, you know.

Speaking of Mom, I thought of a plan to bring her and Henry together. It is obvious that Henry likes her. He is a pleasant and decent man. It's been like forever the last time Mom went out. By the way, they look so adorable as a couple.

It is not like I want to replace Dad. He was really funny, and is the greatest. I just think Gem and I need a father figure.

I asked, "Rylee, will you help?"

"Well, your mom needs to socialize. Hear me out, though, it isn't always good to interfere in people's love lives."

So, I decided to help only Henry. I don't want Mom to find out. She can smell things very quickly. I don't want Gem to know either. If she does, she'll think Mom is unfaithful.

And, there would be disaster. Gem is the type of a person who sticks with her turf. It is really upsetting that she's broken about Ms. Stanley.
