She knows JT still sees her as the annoying little cousin but she is beyond happy for them and can’t wait to see their future together! Kaylie is so happy that she and Em have gotten closer over these past few years and have made so many memories. From shopping literally every time they are together, experimenting at Dunkin to get their orders perfect, their El Patron and Olive Garden dates, along with MUCH more.
