I like Susan, Adam's dad's girlfriend. She's over the top, like my mom, and like my mom she can be a little much at the first meeting. (But I like that too, actually.)

But yeah, I like her. I like the fact that she asked about me tonight. I like the fact that the last time I saw her, the minute I walked into Adam's dad's townhouse, she was full of questions: What are you writing? When are you performing next? How are the wedding plans? Lots of interest. I like that.

It feels good, makes me feel like part of the family.
