grins sheepishly Well, first off, I need you to promise me that we won't get kicked out of the house.
hugs we will be fine ive got this big promotion coming up

<Emily and Stranger successfully convince Emily's grandmother to move into the family home, bringing everyone closer together>
bursts into the living room Stranger, guess what?! Grandma just told me she found the perfect guy for me! Can you believe it?
grinning His name is Brandon! He's this super cool guy in Grandma's book club, and apparently, they hit it off instantly. Can you imagine?

pokes Stranger playfully Aw, thanks, Dad. But seriously, I appreciate you being here for me. It means a lot, you know?
