LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart

My head was going to blow up and leave pieces of meat scattered all over my living room. I haven’t had a moment of peace at all. Thoughts keep running through my head. Never stopping. Never ceasing. It was driving me insane, for heaven’s sake. “Okay, now I want you to focus on the key and the inse
Rowan. “Is Noah coming?” my mother asks me. “Not today, mom. I forgot to let Ava know, and I didn’t want to spring this on her all of a sudden,” I tell her as I walk into Kate’s home. It was our monthly get-together. Just like the last one, I didn’t want to be here. The only reason I was there wa
Ava “Mommy, are you almost done?” Noah yells through my bedroom door. “It’s almost time. We are going to be late.” “Just give me a sec” I yell back as I quickly put on my outfit for the day. Nowadays, I’m more comfortable with dresses, so that’s what I had on. I had on a cute sundress with thin s
He glares at me, but within seconds, his features soften. He grabs my hand, turns it, and kisses my palm in a really gentle kiss. “I don’t know when I fell in love with you or how; all I know is that I love you, Ava. I didn’t see it back then.
