Summary
All of this was to say that she felt for Harper, she did. But it didn’t excuse anything. When Harper had dropped her off at the hotel on the edge of town, she had immediately called John and talked it over with him. John was right - every story is different. But it’s not her fault if she wants someone who is on the same chapter as her. She’s not even asking for the same page - just the same general area of the book.
Not someone who is four chapters behind the major plot twist.AU where Abby says "I'm not going" and actually means it.

Summary
Abby doesn’t meant to, but she holds onto each one, slides it into a previously undiscovered part of her brain that also keeps track of things like Riley’s voice makes Abby’s stomach flutter and Abby can’t think about the soft weight of Riley’s hair for more than three seconds or she’ll start thinking about Riley’s lips and that’s NOT something we can deal with right now.
OR
Abby Holland falls in love with Riley Johnson in the summer.

Summary
If you’d asked Abby in January whether she thought she would ever be at the Caldwell family Christmas again, she would have laughed until she passed out.

Or: Abby goes home with Harper for Christmas again, but this time as a friend. Knowing that Riley will also be there is just a...perk.

Summary
As it turns out, dramatic gestures aren't always enough...and why didn't Abby have any of this on her bingo card for the year?

A: It really was maybe the only redeeming point, getting to kick it with you. Thanks for helping me out.
A: I would like to point out though that we are in fact...talking right now. Oh shit, the wonders of technology! We don’t actually have to miss talking to each other if we don't feel like it, do we?
Right away, she gets a response message agreeing: No, we don’t.
