...to an amusing game of Alphabet Weekends (hence the title). The aim of this 'game' is to do something together each weekend starting with A and working through to Z to prove to Natalie that she should be with Tom. At this point in the story I immediately had a flick through the book to see the types of activities that they should be doing, especially for J, V, X and Z.
