The night went by smoothly, but I was still feeling awkward as we sat at the same table as Steven and Roxanne. Sam and his girlfriend sat at the same round table as us, along with Aiden and his date, none other than my son's nanny, and my assistant photographer, Nancy. I'm not sure there's a thing she can't do. She is so talented. She was a great catch as well, a very nice girl who worked hard and deserves the world.

We sat down to eat, and all the boys immediately engaged in small talk, chuckling and having a good time. I got along with all the girls, but it truly was awkward to sit at the same table as Roxie. I can't recall us having a pleasant conversation, other than when we met, at Ikea.

Nonetheless, she was behaving, but I knew it was all a facade, as she smiled while glaring at me when the rest weren't looking. I could feel her eyes piercing through me, making me feel uncomfortable as I sat trying to enjoy my meal.

Mr. Thompson was a widowed man, he had brought his daughter, Gina, to accompany him. At first, it made me feel awkward to find she was the same Gina that Riley and Ashley had told me about. She had dated Logan for a while, and she did confess she had fallen for him, I mean...who wouldn't? He's amazing. But, he had broken up with her. And though she wanted to fight for him, when he first broke up with her, she knew he would never feel anything serious for her.

She especially gave up the idea to continue to pursue him when he told her I was coming back to our town. He had refused her father's offer to work in New York because he wanted to come back with hopes we could make things work. I guess I respected her for letting go of him and still feeling comfortable with me around, she was a kind girl. Nothing like I thought she'd be, from what Riley and Ashley had told me.

Gina and I got to talk to each other for a long time while we sat to eat, and we became good friends. The only thing keeping me on edge was Roxanne's presence. She had a way to look at me that made me feel as if she had already killed me multiple times in her mind.

Honestly, I don't get it... Why does she hate me so much? I never did anything to her. I wish I knew so I could try and fix things with her. If I promised one thing to my mom, was to never hold grudges towards anyone. Life is too precious to hold anger and bitterness in your heart.

"Attention everyone," Derreck announced on stage making all of us look towards him and stop what we were doing. "There are only thirty minutes left of the auction before we close it down. Make sure you put your bids in before it's too late. There's a lot of cool stuff out there...As some of you know, my niece Emily got married a year ago to Tyler Slate. Although they were not able to come tonight, they were kind enough to donate a wonderful packet." he holds up a brochure, and opens it, raising his eyebrows in approval to what he was seeing.

"Wow...I am surely bidding on this. It's two-round tickets to Dubai for two weeks, with a stay at her husband's hotel. Just by the ocean. Everything is fully paid for, including the hotel, plane tickets, food, massages for two, and so...so much more. I urge you guys to place your bids...this is a good one." Logan looks at me with a big smile and winks at me. I knew exactly what that smile meant. He was ready to stand up and bid on it, as soon as Derreck finished talking.
