"A Piece of My Heart"
Oh my God! I can't believe this is happening. That engagement ring meant so much to me-not because it's an expensive piece of jewelry-but because it symbolized the love Ethan and I share. How can Mr. Crane be so mean and heartless? I know he doesn't care if he hurts me, but he must have seen the pain in Ethan's eyes. And up until last night, Ethan was his son! I don't understand how someone could be that cruel. It feels so strange not to have the ring on my fingerlike a part of me is missing. I know it sounds silly, but I always felt like that ring was somehow connected to my heart. Now, there's only one thing left for me to do. And I'm going to do it right now!

"NOT a Material Girl"
Once again, I feel like Cinderella. Just like her beautiful dress and pretty jewels were taken away at midnight, mine are about to be too. I have to give back the Crane family jewels. The fact is, they were given to me when Ethan was a Crane. Since he's not a Crane anymore, I don't have any right to wear them. The thing is, they're beautiful and I'm sad to give them upbut they're not what's really important. All that matters is my relationship with Ethan and that's not going anywhere!

"About Last Night"
Boy, today is sure different than I thought it would be. I figured I'd wake up still smiling from the most amazing engagement party in the world-a night of celebrating the love Ethan and I share with all of our family and friends. I can't believe everything that happened all in one night (it seems like the night went on forever)! I'm not exactly waking up the happiest girl in the world like I thought I would be. Ethan is absolutely devastated now that he knows he's Sam Bennett's son. And I'm scared to death he's going to find out I knew the truth. I swear, I really wanted to tell him last night that I knew the secret, but his emotions were so raw. I just don't know what's going to happen next. I guess it's time to get up and face the day

"Home is Where the Heart Is"
I can't wait until Ethan and I walk down the aisle and become husband and wife. It will be like a new beginningwhich is exactly what Ethan needs. He'll no longer have to focus on the family he used to have. Instead, he'll be able to focus on the family he's going to have! And I don't just mean me. He's going to become a part of the whole Lopez-Fitzgerald familyMama, Luis, Miguel and me! Ethan will have more family than he knows what to do with!

"The Crane Familyor the Addams Family?"
After what just happened, maybe it's for the best that Ethan's not a Crane. That family just gets stranger and stranger! I can't believe what Ethan and I walked in on! Let's just say Julian and Rebecca were in Ivy's bedroomand they weren't exactly dressed. And neither one of them seemed to feel bad about it. How weird is that? But worst of all, I think I just witnessed the true Julian Crane. There's no more denying he's really just a mean person! He actually turned his back on the son he's raised since he was born, just because he no longer has the last name "Crane." I can't imagine ever treating anyone like that. I guess I'm realizing that what they say is truemoney can't buy happiness. Goodness knows, that family has tons of money, but not much happiness. Once Ethan and I are married, our home will be filled with nothing but happiness!
