It's January 2nd, me and Peter only have a few days left before we both we have to go back to school.

I decided to try out this new sugar cookie recipe tonight with a cinnamon roll twist to it and I wanted to get Peter's opinion on it. Of course I like to hear from my dad and Kitty, but I wanted to have more than two thoughts about it, just to make sure it turns out perfect. 

Sadly, Margot had to return to Scotland. Mrs Rothschild could come over and try them, but she's on a date with my dad. It's 7:28 pm, they won't be back for another hour and a half.

She and my dad's relationship have been going well so far, they both seem happy, which makes Kitty happy, but she is hoping something more will happen between both of them.

I text Peter that he can come over later and try out my cookies, but he replied "Why do I have to over later? Once I get there, there won't be any cookies left for me to devour."

I replied back,"I haven't even started prepping yet, I just found the recipe earlier today. I'm just letting you know ahead of time."

Peter returns by saying "Well, why don't I come over now, before the snow gets heavy, and also to keep Katherine company while you're baking." 

When I read the message, I didn't realize the snow was continuing to build up. It will be impossible for Peter to get here once the weather gets bad. When I look out the kitchen window to find the snow falling, I see Josh's house. 

It's been a while since I've heard from him. He's been away at college, yet I still miss the good times with him and Margot, before everything else happened. Even though I was happy then, I am still very happy, maybe even more, now. 

Even since me and Peter got together, we have been very in love and enjoy just being with each other.

When I look back on my phone, I text Peter back, I reply "Fine. You can come over here now"

About a minute later, he says "I'm already halfway there. I'm at a stop sign" He leaves a winky face in the text.

I roll my eyes. Peter Kavinsky can be so unpredictable. You would have no idea when he would just pop into your life like when he did with mine. But still, he is so thoughtful and kind, and he would brighten my day when I get to see his handsome face and loving personality. 

But then I realize, I notice he's on his way now. He usually comes late when he picks me up. 

I think to myself, "This must be his new year's resolution: To be on time." But then I shake my head, and laugh to myself. 

Kitty comes into the kitchen, notices me and says "What are you laughing about?" as she walks Jamie Fox-Pickle outside to do his business.

I quickly look up and say "Nothing. Peter's coming over, just to let you know." 

Excitement is in Kitty's eyes "Yes! I wanted to show him the tricks I taught Jamie."

I speak, "Yeah, well, he's going to keep you company while I make my cookies."

Kitty replies "Okay, don't mess up." As she brings Jamie back inside, and walks to the living room.

I was busy prepping to make the cookies, luckily I went to the grocery store today to buy the stuff I needed to make them, and then I heard the doorbell ring.
