He did mention something like that.”She moved her hands around Kenny's neck and lifted up to kiss him again.“I'm not sure I want to remember this past year. It's been rather rough at times.”“I kinda agree. Do you remember the U2 CD called The Unforgettable Fire?”“Vaguely. Why?” She let go of himbut continued to stare into his eyes.“We can refer to this year as our 'Forgettable Year'and play that CD when we get home.”“I don't want to listen to music when we get home, Kenny.”“We can stay up for little while, can't we?”“You aren't going to write a song and call it 'The Forgettable Year,' are you?”“That sounds like a good title for a song and maybe even a CD.”“You are such a dork!” Emmy laughed and pushed him in the chest.The “Emmy's Story” series begins when Emmy isfour-years-old and quickly progresses to focus on her teen yearsand beyond.
