No one's more surprised then Chase Stokes when his estranged step-sister shows up on his doorstep in South Carolina. They haven't talked in almost two years, but something has caused her to quit school, leave Maryland, and take up residence on his...

"I know. I wouldn't mind staying in this area permanently," Evaline told her. "I certainly wouldn't blame you. Alaska's warmest month is around 70 degrees," Penny shared.
"Rudy's shown me pictures of Alaska. It looks gorgeous," Evaline mentioned. "I would love if you two could make it home for Thanksgiving," Penny told her, "Obviously you won't be able to travel for Christmas, but we could celebrate in November with the family."
"I'll have to check with the doctor to see if it's okay for me travel," Evaline told her, "If she says it's okay then I don't see why we couldn't come up."

Hearing the doorbell Evaline told the two to head out to the balcony where Rudy and his parents were before going to answer the door. Swinging the door open she found Madison and JD, "Hello, Pretty Girl," Madison squealed hugging her. "Gorgeous," Evaline greeted back.
