ASHER

Christmas with my parents was nice, but I couldn't completely clear my head.

Since Thanksgiving was at Emmy's parents' house, Christmas is at mine.

Emmy and I aren't arguing, and we spoke on the phone again yesterday, but the mood is still subdued. I wanted to meet her, but we were both so busy with Christmas that we couldn't leave our families at the same time.

I would have liked to have talked to her about the whole thing in person. Maybe I could have made it clearer to her that I wouldn't leave her, no matter what lies Gianna told.

It really annoys me how much influence her...
