Meg Cabot - Third Time Lucky

No, the best part is that we moved right into Frenching without any trouble at all. Tina was right - it just seemed perfectly natural.

And now the captain says we have to put away our tray tables for take-off, so I'll have to quit writing in a minute.

Dad says if I don't stop talking about Michael, he's going to go sit up front with the pilot for the flight.

Grandmere says she can't get over the change in me. She says I seem taller. And you know maybe I am. She thinks it's because I'm wearing another one of Sebastiano's original creations, designed just for me, just like the dress that was supposed to make Michael see me as more than just his little sister's best friend . . . except that it turned out he already did. But I know that's not it.

And it isn't love, either. Well, not entirely.

I'll tell you what it is: self-actualization.

That and the fact that it turns out I'm really a princess, after all. I must be, because guess what?

I'm living happily ever after.
