was Alice Patrick’s first love?

Hi Phyllis! I hope you are staying safe and are in good health. I just wanted to know was Alice Patrick’s first love? We all know that she always loved Patrick and I was SO happy that they got married in the end. My friends and I have been reading the Alice series since fifth grade and we all feel like Alice, Pamela, and Elizabeth. We’re such big fans and we always felt like Alice was a big sister who taught us a lot, Well I suppose you had something to do with that. I hope you have a great week!

Yes, I am safe and have had my two COVID shots!  If you can call a sixth-grade attraction love, then yes, Patrick was Alice’s first love.   A mix of awkwardness and excitement.  Remember how they ate chocolate covered cherries on her front porch?   And she was so nervous at the restaurant she came home with the big cloth napkin in her purse?  Reminds me of my seventh grade boyfriend and my first kiss.
