As the video finished playing, Lee and Finn both were in utter shock. Joe was tapping his foot waiting for an answer from the two teens about what had happened. But, more importantly, he wanted to hear it from Lee. "Well, um. I'm gonna go finish moving in to Noah's house. See you later." Finn jogged down to the sidewalk, waved at Lee, and ran way. Joe grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her inside. He closed the door and pushed her down onto the sofa.

"Joe. I-I can explain." "Well, get to talkin sister." So Lee told him everything. "And I was gonna tell you but the timing was never right." Joe let out and exasperated sigh. 'Please don't be mad at me for kissing him." "That's not what I'm mad about. I'm frustrated that you didn't tell me. Did you think I was gonna be mad at you?" "I mean, after Chaz I thought you would be." Joe put his arm around his little sister. "No way Lee. In fact, I have never seen you more happy than you are with Finn.When you guys broke up, it made me sad because I knew that you might have been throwing away the best thing that had ever happened to you." "Thanks Joe. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you." They hugged and Hannah Rose came in waving a DVD case around. "Tangled!" Lee and Joe looked at each other and  shrugged, "I don't see why not." Joe said.

Half way though the movie, Joe and Hannah had both fallen asleep and Lee was texting Finn:

Finn🐸

Hey, did you make it out alive?

Lee✨

With out a scratch. Joe is more than 100% on board with this.

Finn🐸

Well, I wish I could say the same. My family is now demanding that you and I go up to Canada and have a sit down dinner with them so they can tell if you are good for me or not.

Lee✨

Your mom has know me for like 2 and a half years.

Finn🐸

She just does what my dad tells her. I gotta go. Talk to you later beautiful.

Lee✨

Bye gorgeous.

Finn🐸

I love you.

Lee✨

I love you too.

As Lee turned her phone off, she was smiling like she had never smiled before. She quietly turned off the movie and went to her room. She pulled on an over-sized hoodie and some Star Wars pajama pants and crawled in bed. As she was turning out the light she said, "Good night my little macaroni." She turned out the light and fell fast asleep.
