        "Bye, dad!" I yell, rolling onto my stomach and lying on my bed with my notebook in hand.

        "Bye, sweetie! Remember, Wes needs her vitamins!" He calls back to me, following with the sound of a door shutting loudly and Wes running into my room.

        She jumps on my bed next to me with a cheesy smile. "Whatchya drawin'?" She asks, looking down at my tattoo design with confusion on her face.

        It was a heart with a date on it and room for another: I.XV.MMXV or, January 15, 2015. "It's the date I first talked to someone very special to me, little sis. There's room for another date and it'll be the day we meet in person."

        Wesley nods, watching my face as I talk so she understands how much this small drawing means to me. Her hands reach forward and she touches the paper, a gleeful glint in her eyes. "Can I meet him? One day, I mean."

        Her question startles me but I nod through my shock, smiling down at her. I shut my notebook, leading Wesley out of my room and into the living room. "Wanna watch TV, while I do school work, hun?" I offer and she starts bouncing in joy, nodding her head while skipping to turn on the television.

        I grab my laptop and take a seat on the couch behind a dancing Wesley, opening up a new tab. I log into my e-mail, seeing a new one from Levi.
