The picture caption was “Can’t wait!” with lots of heart emojis.
Sometimes I get scared, like our lives are going in different directions, and what if Rosie stops loving me? And then I look back over our texts and do that thing that I learned to do a long time ago. I stay in the now. The now where Rosie loves me.

Did you love Eddie's Choice? Then you should read Shut Up by Marilyn Reynolds!
When their mother is called to Iraq with her National Guard Unit, 17-year-old Mario Barajas and his 10-year-old brother, Eddie, move in with their Aunt Carmen. Eddie, hungry for the love of a father, happily soaks up the attention their aunt's boyfriend, Denton, freely gives. Mario is caught up with a girlfriend who is his first love, with high school soccer, and with work. He barely notices as his little brother becomes more and more withdrawn. Then, returning home earlier than expected one evening, he walks in on the terrible secret. Mario must take desperate measures to protect Eddie. This is a gripping tale of trust, betrayal, and secrets that should never be kept. Above all, this is the story of the bond of love between two brothers.
